→ El Sendero Luminoso Q & A With Alex Honnold∞

Posted January 23, 2014 at 8:40 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Alpinist caught up with Alex Honnold for a little Q & A about his recent free solo of El Sendero Luminoso in El Potrero Chico, Mexico:

I used to be scared of spiders but I kind of got over it. I mean, with a route like El Sendero, I definitely felt some anxiety or nervousness beforehand, but I think a lot of that comes with experiencing something new. I didn’t know how it would go because I’d never done anything like it before. Stepping into the unknown is always a little unnerving. But I wouldn’t necessarily call that scary, I’d call it more stimulating than anything.

Really nice interview by Simon Carter with Aussie Chris Webb Parsons:

Oh, my thumb. I use it like another finger. When I first started climbing I was reading about how to get stronger, about finger boarding etc.

I figured out that there was a lot of strength in my thumb and I remember sitting in school, my maths class, and I was just mucking around on the edge of the desk and I was playing with my fingers and I had my thumbs on the edge of the desk and I was like I wonder if you could use that as a crimp?

So I began twisting my thumb and really stretching them, every day, stretching them. I remember they were really hurting. But I just kept crimping the edge of the desk and began to use it on certain holds.

→ Bernd Zangerl Talks About Shantaram∞

UKC caught up with Bernd Zangerl to discuss his new problem Shantaram, which he opened this past summer in Norway:

It is my hardest problem for sure – I can’t compare it with anything I did in the past. Regardless of the number which will be related to “Shantaram” in the future, the first ascent on June 11, 2013 as well as the journey to accomplish it are among the most intense of my climbing life…

Nice interview over at Crux Crush with one of my favorite people in the climbing world, Angie Payne:

If I could climb all the time? I wouldn’t. It’s really easy when I’m working all the time to be like, ‘I just want to be climbing all the time.’ But like I said there’ve been little times when I’ve tried to do that and I just don’t push myself as much because I’m like, well I can climb whenever I want, so whatever, I just won’t go out today.

But when you have to schedule it, then you get there and you’re like, ‘This is my time.
