Watch a behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot
Alex Honnold recently stripped down for the ESPN body issue shoot where climber and photographer Cory Richards got to be behind the lens. The 11th annual issue celebrates the achievements of athletes from around the world. Watch a behind-the-scenes video below.
Honnold was the subject of an Oscar-winning 2018 documentary about his life called Free Solo and he runs Honnold Foundation. In this body issue, Honnold poses in a number of positions for the camera, including laying on rock and extending chalked up hands.
In an article in the Daily Mail, a story notes that Honnold is a father to an infant son, but when asked about it on Instagram, Honnold’s partner Sanni McCandless said, “I just looked it up! Who knew?!”
