Includes two new chapters on Alex Honnold’s free solo ascent of the iconic 3,000-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park

On June 3rd, 2017, Alex Honnold became the first person to free solo Yosemite’s El Capitan―to scale the wall without rope, a partner, or any protective gear―completing what was described as “the greatest feat of pure rock climbing in the history of the sport” (National Geographic) and “one of the great athletic feats of any kind, ever” (New York Times). Already one of the most famous adventure athletes in the world, Honnold has now been hailed as “the greatest climber of all time” (Vertical magazine).

Alone on the Wall recounts the most astonishing achievements of Honnold’s extraordinary life and career, brimming with lessons on living fearlessly, taking risks, and maintaining focus even in the face of extreme danger. Now Honnold tells, for the first time and in his own words, the story of his three hours and fifty-six minutes on the sheer face of El Cap, which Outside called “the moon landing of free soloing … A generation-defining climb. Bad ass and beyond words … One of the pinnacle sporting moments of all time.”

Ce que les critiques en disent

“[Honnold] is the foremost practitioner of the dark art of free solo rock climbing.”

(Wall Street Journal)

“Honnold here recounts his ascents on some of the world’s most dangerous rock walls. You’ll come away questioning his sanity for choosing this controversial sport…but it’s also impossible not to feel awe.”

Great book even if hard to grasp for a non climber. Well narrated! It gives great insight into Alex's Free solo of El Cap and the lead up to it.

Great book

Good book. It was interesting to gain some insight into Alex’s psychology. I always though he was simply a psychopath unable to feel normal emotions like fear. This book provided his perspective which was interesting. The book did a good job keeping my attention. Certainly not an amazing book but worth a listen.

Good overall

Pretty much everything you wanted to know. Seems at times the narrarators were completely unfamiliar with their subjects, climbing jargon can be hard to follow but there was even at least one french word that was butchered pretty well.

Great story, below par narraration

I loved this audiobook and purchased it, because I watched the Academy Award winner Documentary for Free Solo which was awesome. Alex Honnold is such a good human being, and the only Climber to sucessfully ascend The Cap in Yosemite in 3hours and 56 minutes , without using any rope, and this was a spectacular feat and unprecedented. Just wish that he would have narrated his story , because that would have made it 10 out of 10.!

Spectacular feat by a Humble Super Human.!
