Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only a few years ago, Alex Honnold was little known beyond a small circle of
hardcore climbers. Today, at the age of thirty, he is probably the most famous
adventure athlete in the world. In that short time, he has proven his expertise
in many styles of climbing and has shattered speed records, pioneered routes,
and won awards within each discipline. More spectacularly still, he has pushed
the most extreme and dangerous form of climbing far beyond the limits of what
anyone thought was possible.
Free soloing, Honnold’s specialty, is a type of climbing performed without a
rope, a partner, or hardware—such as pitons, nuts, or cams—for aid or
protection. The results of climbing this way are breathtaking, but the stakes
are ultimate: if you fall, you die.

In Alone on the Wall, Honnold recounts the seven most astonishing climbing
achievements so far in his meteoric and still-evolving career. He narrates the
drama of each climb, along with reflective passages that illuminate the inner
workings of his highly perceptive and discerning mind. We share in the jitters
and excitements he feels waking in his van (where he lives full time) before a
climb; we see him self-criticize in his climbing journal (a veritable bible for
students of the sport); and we learn his secrets to managing fear—his most
enviable talent. Veteran climber and award-winning author David Roberts writes
part of each chapter in his own voice, and he calls on other climbers and the
sport’s storied past to put Alex's tremendous accomplishments in perspective.

Whenever Honnold speaks in public, he is asked the same two questions: "Aren't
you afraid you're going to die?" and "Why do you do this?" Alone on the Wall
takes us around the world and through the highs and lows in the life of a
climbing superstar to answer those fascinating questions. Honnold's
extraordinary life, and his idiosyncratic worldview, have much to teach us about
risk, reward, and the ability to maintain a singular focus, even in the face of
extreme danger.
