Covid related for three of them and they weren’t old people or smokers just un vaccinated ..
beside all psychological and philosophic implication one might or might not share , you have to realize these guys like Alex Tommy and Lynn are athletes of another level ... not only they are 100 % fit, but their mental strength is unbelievable ... they are a class by themselves ... like the Huber bros. from Bavaria !
If Im not mistaken, Alex is the first to climb El Capitan in free solo, using an easiest route than "the nose" or "dawn wall". Those both route are still considered as impossible route to do in free solo or free base.
@hi12345616 Still not The Nose or The Dawn Wall. Alex free soloed Free Rider. I dare say The Nose will never be free soloed because of 'the king swings' and The dawn Wall will never be free soloed because it's technically much harder than Free Rider and The Nose. If you don't know what 'the king swings' is on the nose you shouldn't be commenting here. If you DO know, take responsibility for making a lame, vague statement.
@@thegreat1137 have you got any grasp on the english language? Either refers to two things not three. And he DID free solo Free Rider. Are you on drugs?
Anyone that thinks Alex was amazing with his free solo, (which he absolutely was),needs to watch this video. He wasn’t alone. He was a culmination of what many climbers did.
i dont care what anyone says, hands down these climbers are the best athletes in the world. Look at what pioneer Lynn Hill did, amazing. And Alex Honnold is in a league of his own, free soloing el cap in less than 4 hrs?? (if i read that correctly) dont get me wrong, there are some olympic athletes that do amazing things, i always held decathletes in high regard, thought they were some of the best in world, but the rest of em better watch out for these up and coming rock climbers doing some pretty sick stuff! And i heard its gonna be an olympic event in 2020?? cool as hell, it damn well should be if olympics are about showcasing the best athletes in the world!!! God Bless all my brothers and sisters!!!!!!
I’m on a life journey , lose weight and I’m obsessed with climbing now , I know I need to drop about 43 pounds before I start doing it , but I may just try to use indoor climbing to lose weight as well , I’m strong .. I’m a carpenter so I’m always climbing 30-40 foot letters and then onto a 12/12 pitch roof , no rope ., just some 2x4 s but I totally get the respect you must have and the fears u have to over come .. to me I think I could dive into this
The guy has an incredible story - watch the Netflix show. He has had a lot of setbacks - including loosing part of an index finger and it doesn't stop him still. "Triumph of the spirit" may be a cliche, but it is true for this man!! A true athlete and and hero.
@@Jj-gi2uv I like your comment as I like people who push themselves to be physically tough. Many people complain about physical ailments and never do anything that challenges them physically. This is also good for the spirit! Those same people ask for prayers that they can get better physically. I say pray that they'll get off the couch and go for a walk!
Though as a long ago has-been Yosemite climber I totally "get it", and in my not-so-humble opinion free soloists are the greatest athletes in the world (all other climbers no matter how good are mere pretenders to the throne), I think back to what Warren Harding said back in the early-1970s: "Climbing is a lot of hard work to accomplish absolutely nothing!" So for me to say that free soloists are the greatest athletes in the world in the context of what Harding said 50 years ago, I suppose that means that free soloing is the pinnacle of achieving absolutely nothing. After all, it's not curing cancer or feeding the starving, right?

Incredible feats, but I'll connect to nature by taking pictures with my phone as I hike. A little fear is a good thing...it brings things into perspective, just ask Dan Osman.
Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.
What's really crazy is I find the same things in my California king size bed just chilling with my girlfriend it's so comfortable I just close my eyes and sleep for 15 hrs
"trying something New, trying something different" UH? No that's OK ill try the next new weird Flavor of Potato chips, That's my Risk factor level right there.

Oooohhh.. The name is El Capitan... I've read som much about Apple's next OS-update. I thought it was called El Catpain... (after Tiger, Snow Leopard, Lion and so on...)
Petr is almost correct. Free Climbing is where you climb a route without putting any weight on your gear. In other words, you have gear in the rock to protect you if you fall, but you're not allowed to use the gear to pull yourself up. Free Solo Climbing is where you climb a route with no safety gear.

Never met these heroes and love every single one of them. Saw Free Solo on IMAX with sweaty palms and only 2 of us in the theater. Perfection.

One minute I'm staring into my ex-wife's kitchen window, the next I'm scaling El Capitan! Is there no limit to what Google Maps can do!
BinkieMcFartnuggets you are a legendary commenter.

Well free rider was also considered impossible to do free solo but .
Hey
But yeah …… dk if anyone will be doing the nose or anything
....meanwhile i can't even climb my own stairs without seeing visions of my own death and fast approaching unconsciousness.
Same....same
Unbelievable that this man free solo'd so cap. congrats Alex!
Are Google going to surf the Mavericks next? Or maybe show us something with cats, like Tiger, Lion, Mountain Lion, Leopard, Snow Leopard?

Is!

Robin Johansson Did they really? Wow.
Honnold and Caldwell have the two most amazing climb achievements ever made, the free solo el cap and the first ever Dawn Wall!
CURSES!! So much for my on-sight attempt!
Alex Honnold just made history and climbed this without a rope or any safety cables.
Not the nose or the dawn wall though.

Beautiful job on the documentary.
Caldwell, Honnold, Hill, Jorgenson... some of the greatest climbers humankind has ever seen.

Google Maps is awesome! Climbing is awesome!!! Yay!
Wait but I thought it was just an OS update, now you telling me I have to climb that to get a free update?
Ukm n
4:37 what is this? an apple commercial? I thought we were done with the "hello"s twenty years ago.

Finally somebody put my thoughts into words. Perfectly stated. Thank you.
Congratulations, beautiful adventure!
My anxiety levels are astronomical!! I'm thinking about how different it is to climb a 30 foot ladder for me but this is nutters.
Just watching this makes me perspire.
Well played, Google
What is the song in the middle starting at 2:50?
Is this formal channel for Google Maps
My heart dropped at 2:39
Little did they knew that Alex would become a "god" shortly after
Wait, who is taking those epic photos of the free climbers? Where are their ropes n harnesses?
Andrew Shaw The camera men use way more climbing gear than the climbers do. Tons or ropes and pulleys and even ladders. They tend to lower stuff off the top of the cliffs, rather then hoist it up
What is the name of the trance music in the video? Good tune.
How do I climb this without dying?
AD a rope
AD Captain Kirk did it with the aid of some sort of jet pack or anti-grav device.
It was really funny without meaning to be.
Dont fall
AD climbing the nose on el cap if you know what youre doin is more safe than driving out to yosemite to climb
ignore gravity.
I wonder how long it takes for your hands to adjust and grow to be able to handle climbing like that.

How can you trust or predict that those slabs of rock won't break off?
this video is so inspiring
Can i download this clip and share on a facebook page for climbers?
Google maps. How do i remove the huge box that opens when you write in the search box, without erasing my search? Please this is insane. It covers half a laptops screen.

After you've climbed it, is it still there?
alex isnt a thrillseeker, he is just more rational than everyone else, and knows what he can do.
Hill is a bad ass name for a climber
Incredible feats, but I'll connect to nature by taking pictures with my phone as I hike. A little fear is a good thing...it brings things into perspective, just ask Dan Osman.
Lololol of course Alex did it mostly w/ out a rope haha. That guy is absolutely fearless.
Hold my beer, I've got this.
My computer runs OS X El Capitan but did run OS X Yosemite! Mac FTW
Lynn Hill is a freaking beast.

Who?
I just got outta bed. Thank you. It was a hard fall..
To think now he scaled the whole damn thing with no rope and a movie is coming out about it
WOW! What incredible athletes!!
What's really crazy is I find the same things in my California king size bed just chilling with my girlfriend it's so comfortable I just close my eyes and sleep for 15 hrs
Wicked awesome graphics .

GOOD MORNING DAY,*22/04/2016*
oh essex?
I would love to documentaries to use meters and feet.. Especially when they have graphics/text on the video itself. So many ppl in the world use the metric system, why not make it clear for them. where it said 3000ft you could have added the height in meeters. Simple.
Let's get this done movie makers.
Google User I'm an American and I will tell you our system is stupid as fuck. The Metric system makes so much more sense... look into it for yourself
1000 paces.
You can just google it you know
It’s very simple, 1 metre is approximately 3 feet. So approximately 1000 metres, you should be able to do this math in your head in seconds.
Or..... become bilingual in measurements and stop bitching about the imperial system.
Oooohhh.. The name is El Capitan... I've read som much about Apple's next OS-update. I thought it was called El Catpain... (after Tiger, Snow Leopard, Lion and so on...)
Alex ur super man in my book thank you .wow that’s all I can say
E estado al pie del capitán hermoso lugar ojalá lo sigan cuidando como asta ahora
Watching this makes my legs ache.
These people are amazing!
Google wanting some of that Apple market.
Clearly!
Imagine watching this in 2019 after Alex did this climb FREE SOLO all the way
That's awesome! thanks lot
Is this a sport or a sickness?All my respect to you ;amazing crazy people !.
3000 feet =
914.4 metres
Bell video dovrei fare anche io un video su questo posto... 👍
verrryyy beutifull respesckt this work...................
What is free climbing? What is free solo climbing?
Free climbing - without the rope hanging from the top of the mountain.
Free solo climbing - without rope at all
Petr is almost correct.
Free Climbing is where you climb a route without putting any weight on your gear. In other words, you have gear in the rock to protect you if you fall, but you're not allowed to use the gear to pull yourself up.
Free Solo Climbing is where you climb a route with no safety gear.
Lynn Hill barely aged.
Yosemite & El Capitan out of everything?
Dude the palms of hands are sweating 😅
4:24 where's his index finger
Lost it to a table saw or something like that. Kinda incredible that he's one of the world's best climbers with only 9 fingers
@@michaelrubio4065 yeah I read some article on how losing a finger and pushing a guy off a cliff made him a better climber, pretty compelling
