So the only reason I saw this feature in the first place is because a friend of mine texted me on Sunday night "Put on CBS now!" I had recently been talking to her about my Citibank rock climbing commercial blog, and how what the girl does in the ad looks totally unsafe to me. Now watch this:
(I know it's long and goes completely against my theme of brevity, but I PROMISE it's worth it. As I watched it live my jaw continued to drop further and further.)
After seeing this, my conclusion is that this kid Alex Hunnold has got to be completely insane. I am more shocked than I am impressed by it. I can comprehend how a person can physically do what he does, but not mentally. Which is why "raving lunatic" is the only logical explanation.
UPDATE 1/9: So it has just come to my attention that Alex Hunnold is the guy in the Citibank commercial. Weird.
I turned on the TV in the middle of this and was initially fascinated. But then I had to stop watching - it was too scary (even though he obviously survives or they wouldn't be doing the interview). Definitely mind blowing!
ReplyDeleteI watched this a couple of weeks ago. I knew there were people who climbed free solo like this, but Alex Honnold takes it to another level. Totally insane. I guess it's great fun until one day you make a tiny mistake...
