A ‘FREE SOLO’ CLIMB TO PHENOMENAL
By Benson
I’m just going to get this out of the way at the start, lest anyone assume I’m advocating dangerous or deadly behavior: This article is in no way telling you to go out and climb a massive rock without ropes. In fact, you should never, ever do that. Alex Honnold understands full well what he’s getting into and has trained his entire life to be able to do what he does. I’m simply celebrating his determination in his quest for greatness. That’s something we can all appreciate, whether you think the nature of his endeavor is breathtaking or breathtakingly stupid.
I recently watched “Free Solo,” the documentary about rock climber Alex Honnold’s historic
One of our core values is “We deliver phenomenal.” That means never settling for just good enough. There’s always another obstacle to overcome, or another wall to climb, in our quest to be the best. That’s exactly how Alex Honnold viewed his challenge — a chance to do something truly phenomenal. He never relented in his pursuit, resulting in a feat of human spirit unlike any that’s come before. Climbing isn’t what we do here at AZCOMP, but we are all professionals. If we work hard enough and long enough; take similar measures of preparation; persevere through the hard times; and strive for “perfection;” then we can also be world class in our own craft.
journey to free solo the rock known as
El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Free soloing is a type of rock climbing where you tackle a wall on your own without any harnesses or other safety gear. It is both the purest form of climbing and the least comprehensible. “Everyone knows that if I make one mistake while free soloing a wall the result will be death,” Alex says matter-of-factly in the film. “So, if I’m able to complete a free solo climb, that is as close to perfection as one can get.”
