Just another casual day for Alex Honnold! | The North FaceI love having a local crag where you can get out for a 3 hour sess in the middle of a busy day. Photo by @_charlie_barrett of me climbing another one of his nice new 5.13’s at Pie Shop.
You lead a charmed life, you're very fortunate. 😊
You never know where inspiration will come from. Found this old gem in the archives. First shown to me by the late great Galen Rowell, this 4000ft granite blade inspired my first expedition to the Karakoram in 1999. We sold 500 t shirts to help pay for the trip. Brady Robinson and I ended up after multiple attempts to make the first ascent of the left skyline. I don’t even remember what we called the route but do remember being terrified standing at the base of it and throwing ourselves at it fully wide eyed and gripped. A good reminder this morning of my roots and early motivation for a career in the mountains.
Please check out this trailer to a 14 minute film directed by Ben Clark about Papsura, aka Peak of Evil. I obsessed over this line for nearly two decades and finally, in 2017 with Jim Morrison and Chris Figenshau, we successfully climbed and skied this 21,165 foot behemoth. The full short film, The Line Between Good and Evil, is premiering today at Aspen Mountain Film Festival An Evening of Adventure hosted by Jennifer Pharr Davis - AMFF.
Thanks to everyone who helped support this expedition. I'm so excited to see our footage together in one place. Scott Mellin Ibex Expeditions - Adventure, Safari & Luxury travel #peakofevil MSR - Mountain Safety Research Adventure Medical Kits The North Face CLIF Bar Sherpas Cinema

Sometimes I fantasize that I should’ve been a pro surfer 🏄♀️. I feel like they get to travel with less gear and wear flip flops.

Haha, I promise you that traveling with surfboards is not easy or cheap! The flip flop part is pretty awesome though😜🤙🏄
Good life!!
Pro surfing group is a tough group, ask the skiing Tache family about their sister’s Surf Boyz, Irons Bros
Yah, no- as much or more gear- really!
I’m sure you would look great in a bikini😘
Hilaree saludos desde Colombia. Te admiro
Take a snowboard without bindings 😉
Glad you took the "higher" path.
But they always end up with sand between their toes😉
You can!!
Sometimes the best days are hanging off the side of a cliff after a long day of climbing (or jumaring in my case). 🧗♂️ I learned a lot that day from Renan Ozturk on the art of suffering in the wind and how to not freak out.
Don’t forget that Aug 24th is #globalclimbingday. Take advantage of the gyms offering free climbing. See link below!
