“You think it will be cool till it isn’t fun anymore”

The North Face catches up with their athlete Alex Honnold to find out a bit more about his and Tommy Caldwell’s big day in Yosemite, his plans to rope solo the same feat for his segment in the Reel Rock Tour and a casual mention of how he free soloed the West Face of El Cap.

More detail and pictures from Kelly Cordes on the big day here as well.
