Alex Honnold, renowned for his daring climbing feats, first made his mark by being the first person to free solo El Capitan, a notorious route in Yosemite National Park. His groundbreaking climb on June 3, 2017, was later immortalized in the Academy Award and BAFTA-winning documentary "Free Solo". Honnold's thirst for challenge didn't stop there.

They continued to push boundaries in 2018, setting a speed record for climbing The Nose of El Capitan in under two hours.
Honnold's adventures have been captured not only in films but also in print. His memoir, "Alone on the Wall," provides a gripping insight into his experiences and mindset. His talent for storytelling extends to his podcast "Climbing Gold," launched in 2021, where he shares tales of notable climbers and historic ascents. In the same year, Honnold starred in a National Geographic docuseries on climbing in Greenland, further showcasing his passion and expertise. His climbing feats continued into 2022 when he completed the "Honnold Ultimate Red Rock Traverse" in Red Rock Canyon.
One of Honnold's most daring feats came in 2026 when he free soloed the Taipei 101 tower, the tallest buildering free solo climb in history, an event streamed live in "Skyscraper Live". Honnold's contributions to climbing extend beyond his personal achievements. He founded the Honnold Foundation, which supports solar energy projects to increase energy access globally, reflecting his commitment to environmental conservation.
