Alex Honnold is an absolute superhero.
ive got to imagine that he would have climbed a route on belay a few times before attempting a free solo.
i saw a film of his free solo of Half Dome at the Banff FF and it was utterly terrifying.

Jimmy Chin is my idol. I would totally consider turning for him.
