The host is a really good athlete. He just looks slow because he is always goin up against the worlds best at their sports.

“Alex is a different type of speed climber” .
He also climbs 3, 000 foot faces with no ropes.

Alex Honnold: Now we do this without a rope.

Speed Climber: O_O

I think this type of climbing goes against everything Alex Honnold has ingrained in himself.

Alex Honnolds introduction was sub par. This man is practically the climbing God

3:46 I can see Alex going "Dead, dead" silently in his head everytime someone trips.

Alex: “What we do is more about precision and technique, rather than being sloppy and fast”

Speed Climbers : 😒

And now it has basically been done... The current world record in speed climbing is 5.009 seconds! This is just insane 😱

Alex is thinking deep down, "I'm a badass, but I'll let you have your moment."

I could watch a 5 hour video with Alex Honnold talking about anything, he's magnetic.

"Why it's almost impossible to climb it in 5 seconds"
"It's not, the sport is just young and it will probably go under 5 seconds fairly soon"

probably not a good idea for Honnold to get use to rushing up a wall.

Wired should re-do this with under 4 seconds as the title I can guest appear

Got to give Alex some props considering his discipline rewards slip-ups with immediate death.
