Clickbait: Navy Seal Talks About Alex Honnold Free Soloing

There’s been a lot of coverage of Alex Honnold free soloing, basically to the point that it’s clickbait. But when a 12-minute clip has over 500,000 views, it’s probably worth the click.

Watch Navy Seal Andy Stumpf talk with Joe Rogan about his climbing experience and about Alex Honnold’s free soloing. Honnold was on Rogan recently, watch the interview here.

For those not in the know, Honnold made the first free solo of El Capitan via Freerider 5.13 in 2017.
