Mountain climbing is a dangerous sport and people injure themselves – or die – from falls every year. But have you heard of a ‘free solo’ climb? This means that you climb up a mountain on your own without any equipment to help you. That means no ropes or hard hat; you only use your own muscles.
Alex Honnold is a Canadian climber and he has already done free solo climbs up some of the world’s hardest mountains. In 2017, he tried to climb El Capitan in the USA, a mountain that is nearly 1,000 metres high. It is nearly all rock and is more like a cliff than a mountain. It usually takes climbers many days to climb it using state-of-the-art equipment. Without any equipment, you need to have very strong arms, shoulders and legs, you need to be very flexible, and you need to be brave! The weather could be very hot or very windy. You might frighten birds or bees, and rocks will probably fall on your way up.
Alex practised climbing the mountain many times with ropes first. This wasn’t easy. He fell on one practice climb and sprained his ankle badly. He needed a lot of painkillers afterwards. And practising is very important. If you watch Alex exercising, you will see him doing some unusual things. He stands with his foot in the air; then he crouches down and jumps. He lifts his body using his fingers. His fingers need to be very strong to help him when he climbs along rocks with very little to hold onto.
On 3 June 2017, Alex started to climb El Capitan very early in the morning. Many people were watching him, some with cameras. The people all felt very anxious. ‘If Alex falls, he will die,’ they thought. Did he feel the same fear that they did? It was impossible to know. Amazingly, he completed the climb in just four hours.
Will Alex stop climbing now? The answer is probably no. There are many more mountains that he wants to climb without equipment before he finally retires.
