Climber: Alex Honnold
Route: Free Rider, west face of El Cap
June 5, ascent with no ropes
3000 feet of vertical climbing, with very high difficulty.

This has to be one of the all-time great human accomplishments. I'm so glad i saw this done in my lifetime. its hard to believe he pulled this off. This is an enormous feat of mental strength!!

If he did 120-150 moves for each pitch, with a total of 30 pitches, then he executed 3600-4500 moves with flawless precision, not one mistake!!

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Alex Honnolder.
