Me too - he’s not only stunningly beautiful (he has he features that the longer you look at him the more intensely attractive he becomes - but his manner of speech and degree of calm self comfort and genuine way he communicates (and with no hesitation uses appropriate phrases like ‘in situ’) make him even more fascinating to listen to Low key dreamboat

Man Alex is so cool, makes me wanna go full send on vanlife and start climbing.

Question about building your confidence back up after an injury was helpful/interesting. Broke my back at the gym last year and it's been a slow slow build back to where I was with confidence.

Hi Alex Honnold wishing you best of life with your climbing .. admire you and thank you

this dude lives the best version of his life. No wonder why he's always cracking jokes and being funny. He's happy !

Will you be at the 2020 games in Tokyo? Alex- “Ya” Corona virus: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT

He is such a nice guy!!! Havent met a guy with alot of kindness

Alex is so humble. He doesn't make fun of the stupid questions

No pun intended- but I love how down to Earth Alex Hannold is. He is the embodiment of Nike's slogan, but in a very humble way. Edit: I just realized it looks like I stole half this comment.

The question about "how do climbers recover their gear when the finish climbing?", didn't really give me an answer that I could understand. When sport climbing or trad climbing, you take your own gear and and hook into the bolts (sport climbing), or attach your own safety devices (trad climbing). I understand that you can recover your rope easily, but how do you recover the safety devices, like the ones you hook to the bolts when sport climbing, or the ones you install in cracks and crevices when trad climbing? I'm not a climber, so excuse me if I didn't use the correct terms. This is a genuine question though, and any help understanding is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. ✌️

Great respect for what you do & how you do it.

I remember meeting him in a climbing centre in london and I will never forget it

massive kudos to this man for actually pronouncing "pho" correctly :D

Alex: “Not all climbers live in vans” Alex a minute later: “Basically it was just me mixing all the vegetables together in my van and making it delicious.”

10:16 God the future looks amazing. I would love that, Alex free soloing the Valles Marinaris. A 4 mile high crack climb in 40% gravity? Imagine the dynos and the awesomeness of the view. 😍

Alexx Honnold is awesome: brave, strategic, insightful, strong; with an engaging personality. *@WIRED - thank you for producing this!!*

I love how they showed him climbing. It’s always a nice thing to watch🙂

A very modest guy Alex Honnold.

Alex is such a great communicator!

Alex has so much patience!!

This man has the biggest and brightest eyes I've ever seen... Must be all the adrenaline
