Alone on the Wall by Alex Honnold
The life and death-defying feats of Alex Honnold, a visionary climber of the sort that comes along only once in a generation.
"Honnold is the biggest name in a group of adventure athletes engaging in high-risk live action-sports spectacles that seem to be pulled from the Evel Knievel playbook" -- Grayson Schaffer - Outside
"Honnold has free-soloed the longest, most challenging climbs ever. Most peculiar of all, even to elite rock climbers, Honnold does this without apparent fear, as if falling were not possible." -- Daniel Duane - New York Times Magazine
"Alex is really the first climber to rise from the margins of this lonely fringe sport to become a kind of celebrity." -- Josh Dean - Men's Health
