Alex Honnold became the first person ever to complete a solo-free climb of El Capitan with no ropes and no safety equipment. Just his hands and feet. 2900 feet straight up in less than 4 hours. Honnold is probably the greatest free climber in the world but this is off the charts.

This is so incredible I cannot even imagine how he did it.....and he is insane
