Honnold has developed an informed presence on Facebook. He posts interesting pieces from the news and often gives his fans his personal take on issues.
In his latest post he commented on The Atlantic's review of his book.
The Atlantic reviewed my upcoming book Alone on the Wall.
Starting with the headline I think it went down the wrong track. The
book is in many
ways my attempt to explain my climbing and motivations -
the review sticks to the typical "risking death at every turn. One
mistake and certain death!" type of tone.
I wonder if the reviewer actually read the book or just watched a few youtube videos and called it good. . .
Not only is Honnold an extremely entertaining athlete to watch climb, but his critical opinions voiced on Facebook are also quite exuberant in that he always seems to bluntly approach subjects.
A book signing in Los Angeles is scheduled for Nov. 22nd and the 23rd.
Here's the latest video of Alex "free-soloing," meaning climbing without rope or safety protection.
