Summary

Alex Honnold is a global climbing icon, founder of the Honnold Foundation, and the protagonist in the Oscar-winning documentary “Free Solo.” This conversation explores the confluence of extreme athleticism and fatherhood, delving into Alex’s evolving risk calculus and approach to adventure. We discuss Alex’s recent 2,600-mile expedition to Alaska’s Devil’s Thumb, environmental activism, his passion for climbing, embracing uncertainty, and many other topics. His dry wit shines as he answers listener questions: everything from the ethics of risk-taking to late-night cookie binges. Alex is someone I deeply admire, and this conversation is both edifying and entertaining. Enjoy!
