Alex Honnold Free Soloing

While I am not a big fan of the idea of "free-soloing" (climbing tall distances without a rope) I have to recognize talent when talent is there, and without a doubt Alex Honnold is a talented climber.

There is a great piece on 60 minutes about his climbing and some spectacular footage of Alex "no big deal".

While I am getting settled into the great freeze that is a midwest winter this time of year stuff like this makes me want to hit the climbing gym to remember that feeling of doing what doesn't look possible.
