Alex Honnold finds himself high up in the Swiss Alps, though the climber is not new to extreme heights. What are your thoughts on his adventure with Bear Grylls?
Bear did all this to get Alex's socks, what a cheeky fellow!
now Bear should go free solo with alex
this is nothing for Alex.
I like how they act like this wasn't something they planned for days.
I would recommend watching
Justin Wallace making fun of this video, there's so much wrong going on. They aren't counter balancing each other, after the cut the rope is tied to carabiners, that means they have no chance recovering the rope from the bottom, so it's actually not even simul repel and because they both use two strands they need 2 x 600 foot rope, which they would have to leave behnd. Also after cut, the rope is protected more than just by the socks. Rope could have go under the wires to prevent rubbing, etc. Not really sure how could Alex say yes to this.
Why didn't they anchor off the foot wire so it didn't rub 😒
If I was planning a show to make Alex uncomfortable it would have nothing to do with ropes/mountaineering
for sure you're not actually simulrepelling
the only time the guest is guiding the guide
Yeah, so that wasn't a "counterbalance repel". There was no reason to use Alex's socks as padding when they could have run the rope down the middle of the bridge. You're supposed to tie a knot at the end of the rope when repelling. Thankfully they tied into the carabiners. I'm not sure why they still went at the same time but it was probably because some executive thought it would look cooler. So much wrong in such a short video and Alex just smiles the whole time, Love his attitude! I guess the film crew had to go back up to retrieve the ropes and Alex's socks.
If Bear Grylls really climbed Everest that alone shows how mentally strong he is.
Two legends.
I wonder did free solo dump her useless girlfriend yet?
12 seconds in and I’m already thinking… how do these two not have a show together
anyone know where this is?
Just got to know that apart from being an exceptionally awesome climber he's also a good actor! 🙂
these two together is EPIC😂
Gotta love the Bear.
That Alex Honnold guy doesn’t seem to be scared of height. He should try making a living climbing rocks
After they cut this scene, Alex free climbed back up to get his socks 😂
this bear guy trying too much to impress everyone is the funniest thing i see today.
You could tell how stupid Alex thought this was
Actually they’ve left so much equipment there. At least 2 carabiners, 2 ropes, Alex’s socks.
I didn’t see the whole episode but i wonder how should they get the equipment back from there as long as the ropes had both a figure 8 knot at the top.
Also if they would’ve just use both ropes linked together by a knot they could rappel one by one, with no friction and they could also take the rope back (nor to say they could also make this without the use of carabiners)
If Bear fell and died, Alex's pulse would not go above 40.
If I train for several months I think I can watch this.
now that would be some good mates to go for beers with
I wonder why they didn't abandon two carabiners and had a proper and safe rappel.
They could have used a technique where they didn't lose the rope. They obviously had enough rope to do a traverse belay.
Counterbalanced, both of them doubled up on 2 fixed ropes, they’re trying too hard
this looks boring for honnold🤣
Two of my favorite adventurers.
