My 9 yo daughter crushing 5.11cs and got her first 5.12d top rope last week. She loves Alex Honnold - she’s watched every interview and every video of him on UA-cam. I think he’s a great role model; honest, humble, tenacious, hard working - so I’ve let her lean into it :)
@@jeremysmith2960 these are all in gym fyi. She can flash 5.11cs on autobelay consistently. Nationals comp just passed through and they left up their route when it was over so she got to top rope it. She had to work for it but got it. Not too many other 5.12s in our gym for her to noodle on. She exhibits a few similar personality traits to Alex and I just found her obsession kinda endearing, and because Alex is such a special guy I support it
I also have a daughter and she started climbing when she was 3. I also believe that Alex is a super nice and honest guy. Having that said, I will never recommend watching him to my daughter as I don’t want to have her being influenced by a guy with such a big free solo history. As a climber myself I truly hate this idea and I want to keep her away from influencers who promote that.
I love Honnold's takes on indigenous people that live in less developed parts of the world. Rogan saying they don't want shoes or TV comes across as confidently out of touch. Honnold has been to these places, often for climbing expeditions, so he knows how they actually feel about their lack of access to modern amenities. Ya'll should go listen to Honnold's podcast, it's tremendous.
@@VEE3RDEYE yes I’m not denying that he has done some incredible things..just wouldn’t say he’s one of the most “talented” humans on earth I believe it’s more the combination of climbing as much as he does and his lack of fear/or his ability to manage his anxiety rather than “talent”
Rogan has a new contract with Spotify that allows him to distribute the podcast on more platforms again, so I’m guessing they’re going through and uploading the old episodes that came out during the old contract that couldn’t be uploaded to UA-cam.
i clicked on this video so fast. this combo is just one of the best. both just speak their minds. hilarious af at times. easy to follow what they're saying. the respect they have for each other. the expertise they share to each other. thank you for this.
This is leading up to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. Climbing was sort of a disaster with the combined format. Should be much better this year at Paris 2024. They still have to do combined Boulder and Lead, but at least they separated out the Speed climbers. This has solved one of the biggest problems with the format.
Alex is so amazing. Hard to put in words my admiration for him, I would if I could. His modesty makes him crazy likeable and if I could explain in words why you just seem to feel better when you watch him, I’d definitely chose those words. And how’s Joe, there’s no end to his amazingness, I wouldn’t know where to start with him, but I reckon high up in the list of his supers powers is his ability to listen. He’s totally in the moment most the time, and Alex is someone who can absolutely be the moment. I’ll be watching this one a few times. Thanks so much for this! And all the other interviews too.
Cozy is relative, people have different tolerances for discomfort, but honestly, gear these days for hiking/backpacking/etc. is pretty awesome. My boyfriend and I backpack with our dogs. We don’t bother with a tent and it’s great. We do just fine. After a long day, and especially if you’re not expecting to sleep in the lap of luxury, a sleeping bag and an isomat feel like heaven.
Damn him talking about the olympics coming up had me sure it was recent I should of known when he said it was delayed a year thought he just got mixed up with the first one 🤦♂️
I love seeing people with "ACTUAL" paperback books same with music I've always been a vinyl collector and have never bought a song on iTunes or anything because I like to actually be able to hold the album as well as own the artwork that the band put there hearts into and like back in the day it was very special to put a record on and just listen to the whole record, and I'm glad on one hand that it's started making a comeback but then again it sucks because I was able to get records for cheap but now the price has gone up BUT I'm totally fine paying it because as a fellow musician I know that is what helps the artist as well.

that's doesn't mean its not slow lol. classical games take hours and hours. and the introduction of the chess clock is relatively new compared to how long chess has been around
@@barte4215 There’s literally rapid, which is 5 minutes and bullet, which has 3 and 1 minute modes. That’s also not mentioning online chess, which has made it even faster. Both you and the guy on stream have no idea how fast chess has really gotten.

people are not confused about the olmecs... they are not africans. at least not recently in the way it is implied. people with this line of genetics still exist today and you can see them with a quick google search. they look very different from sub-saharan black africans
Joe we do not have malaria in Egypt, you need to come see my uncle, he taught Ben from uncharted X a lot of what he knows and helped him create a foundation for his knowledge, Awyan is our family name my uncle's name is Yousef, and my grandfather leads a great legacy
EPO would work well for climbing. The same thing Lance Armstrong got busted for. You can see he doesn’t look like he ever took steroid he is extremely lean The EPO Rreaises red blood cell count oxygenates the blood 🩸 and that’s why those guys are 100 yards ahead of everyone else showing no pain I believe for climbing it would serve the same purpose you would now wear out nearly as fast and you recovery would be substantially better. By that I mean real time recovery when resting for the next pitch ext It’s so stupid they should allow athlete’s to use them under supervision because we would see improver performance. Faster healin and less major injuries. Guys in the NFL would be Thoroughbreds
Honnold is the greatest athlete of all time. In the film Free Solo, its explained that if he was in the olympics, if he only got a silver or bronze he is dead. Imagine not winning the gold means you die.
26:20 Honnold: "The stuff in Guyana though, on a totally different scale, like the stuff that I'm talking about, I think the Tepuis have been eroded away, isolated for 40 million years, which you know, far predates humans" while Joe is talking about 6000 year old statues in Mexico as if that's relevant.
