Alone On The Wall

`Riveting…Honnold is neither crazy nor reckless. Alone on the Wall reveals him to be an utterly unique and extremely appealing young man.` Jon KrakauerA twelve-year-old kid in the audience raised his hand and asked, `Aren`t you afraid you`re gonna die?` Without missing a beat, Alex shot back, `We`ve all gotta die sometimes. You might as well go big.` Alex Honnold is 28 years old, and perhaps the world`s best `free solo` climber, scaling impossible rock faces without ropes, pitons or support of any kind. There is a purity to Alex`s climbs that is easy to comprehend, but impossible to fathom; in the last forty years, only a handful of climbers have pushed `free soloing` to the razor edge of risk. Half of them are dead. From Yosemite`s famous Half Dome to the frighteningly difficult El Sendero Luminoso in Mexico, Alone on the Wall is structured around Alex`s seven most extraordinary climbing achievements so far. These are tales to make your palms sweat and your feet curl with vertigo. Together, they get to the heart of how – and why – Alex does what he does. Exciting, uplifting and truly awe-inspiring, Alone on the Wall is a book about the essential truths of risk and reward, and the ability to maintain a singular focus, even in the face of extreme danger.
