I’m convinced he never watched the movie or forgot this part and they didn’t show a fuller clip. Because they explained in the movie that the rope was too short and if you had it tied to you you would t be able to make the jump.

He mentioned in the documentary that he would have moments of fear and panic, but he would train himself to dial it back and focus. I think he just trained his mind over and over to the point where his amygdala was desensitized. This happens with people who meditate for long periods of time. I think the reverse happens with people suffering with panic, anxiety or PTSD. Those people have hyperactive amygdala's. This makes me think that the mind can be trained one way or another. It's very interesting.

Reading your comment 1 year after posting I'd like to point you to the video he made in June 2022 with Magnus Midtbø where he coaxed Magnus into free soloing with him (kzread.info/dash/bejne/da2tw5RsfbPVcaw.html). It's incredibly fascinating to see how Magnus, a highly experienced, world-class climber, struggles to overcome his fear and how Alex coaches him through the send. Alex' stream of commentary is what I imagine is happening in his own head while free soloing, coaching himself through the rough patches and scary moves. I am definitely with you in believing that the fear response can be trained - even without an amygdala functioning differently, like Alex's does.

I once put my hand on a really big hold in the Gunks and felt something squishy under my fingers. I instinctively jerked my hand back, which probably would have been a bad idea if it was a rattlesnake. I found a lower hold, leaned way back and peeked over the lip to find a black rat snake. I forget if the weather was cool, but for whatever reason, it didn't bite me.

I shouldn't be surprised that he knows the subject so well because he is such an expert with so much experience....obviously, many other climbers can provide similar input and perspective, but the part I enjoyed is how he can look at a single frame of a movie (of a cliff wall), and instantly recognize the *type* of rock and often which wall it is and where it is. I'm sure that's obvious info to thousands of people, but still cool to see how quickly he can comment on it.

“Oh, he just died. That sucks.” Delivered perfectly.

12:47 "He just died, that sucks" So casual.. i swear his humor is just so dry and surprising sometimes that he makes me laugh harder than some professional commedians. I love this guy xD

The Alpine Club of Canada had given away a bunch of passes to it, so half the theatre was full of film industry types, and half of us were serious climbers. When that scene happens, with his body thudding into the dirt, and the bird squawking, every climber in the theatre laughed, and the film industry types were so confused.

There are the extrinsic and intrinsic interossei muscles as well as the lumbricals (can't make the Star Trek sign w/o the lumbricals!!!) All these muscles have attachment points within the phalanges only (ie not connected to the bones of the hand.)
