About this listen

Includes two new chapters on Alex Honnold's free solo ascent of the iconic 3,000-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park

On June 3rd, 2017, Alex Honnold became the first person to free solo Yosemite's El Capitan - to scale the wall without rope, a partner, or any protective gear - completing what was described as "the greatest feat of pure rock climbing in the history of the sport" (National Geographic) and "one of the great athletic feats of any kind, ever" (New York Times). Already one of the most famous adventure athletes in the world, Honnold has now been hailed as "the greatest climber of all time" (Vertical magazine).

Alone on the Wall recounts the most astonishing achievements of Honnold's extraordinary life and career, brimming with lessons on living fearlessly, taking risks, and maintaining focus even in the face of extreme danger. Now Honnold tells, for the first time and in his own words, the story of his three hours and 56 minutes on the sheer face of El Cap, which Outside called "the moon landing of free soloing.... A generation-defining climb. Bad ass and beyond words.... One of the pinnacle sporting moments of all time."

Shame Alex didn’t narrated great book otherwise. What a fascinating human being. Was worth any minute.

Extremely enjoyable read about an amazing guy. Gripping from start to finish. The reader was excellent and I felt that I was actually listening to Alex. There are numerous technical terms and techniques but I personally had no problem with this as I was able to understand the bigger picture. I have read many mountaineering books and there are similarly many technical climbing terms which do not detract from the story or the drama. I did not find Alex at all arrogant as many would suggest, I would expect any genius in any field to be confident and in fact I find him quite genuine. What he has done is almost beyond comprehension. Is he mad or irresponsible, well probably yes but this is not as he sees it. Enjoy him while you can, and make sure you read this book!

Both narrator and narration fit the text smooth as slate. An amazing success story from an IB student that I try to share with all my IB students. Especially the use and importance of process journaling :) Amazing Alex! Thanks for sharing.

Great story of success

This book is good for either climbers and non climbers, getting into Alex's mindset is absolutely amazing.

The road to El cap

Whilst the plot is not that elaborate it is absolutely gripping. Probably enjoyed more by by those with a basic climbing knowledge but you don’t have to be an expert to appreciate Alex’s super human abilities.
