About this product

Product Information

Riveting...Honnold is neither crazy nor reckless. Alone on the Wall reveals him to be an utterly unique and extremely appealing young man. - Jon Krakauer A 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 and 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.

      Excellent book about a very talented and inspiring climber

      Loved this book. I fully respect Alex Honnold and what he has and will achieve. Very insightful into what he's attempted and what he gone through to where he is now. Can be fairly technical with his ratings of certain pitches but overall I really enjoyed this book. I followed it after reading the excellent The Push by Tommy Caldwell - another worthwhile read.

      Brilliant read

      It's week written and informative. I like the way Alex has his own story in italics and there is another person about him. I recommend it to those who are interested in climbing and those who aren't. I've given a copy to my grandson as it is so motivational. I did write in the cover though, Don't try this at home, or anywhere else!
