Alex Honnold hace sin cuerda Freerider, 30 largos de hasta 7c+ en El Capitรกn
National Geographic publica que Alex Honnold ha hecho en solo los casi 1.000m de El Capitan por la mรญtica Freerider, 5.12d (7c+). (C) Reel Rock
Alex no llevaba ni arnรฉs ni nada, y la escalada le ha llevado casi 4h. รsta histรณrica ascensiรณn fija un nuevo estรกndar en los big-walls, y ha sido filmado por NatGeo para un film que verรก la luz prรณximamente. En noviembre pasado, Alex intentรณ sin รฉxito la vรญa ya que despuรฉs de 1h no habรญa las mejores condiciones para llevar a cabo la ascensiรณn.
"Con la escalada en solo, obviamente sรฉ que estoy en peligro, pero sentir el miedo mientras estoy allรญ arriba no me va a ayudar en ningรบn aspecto."
