"We descended on our skis. Wow. How long did it take you to this end? Four hours. Four hours to about 3000 feet, which if you compare that to skiing like a powdery spine in Alaska, it might take 30 seconds. So big difference in timing and just focus and a big challenge with that face. It's a top of it is over 21,000 feet. And there's not really a way to acclimatize. Once you're on the face, you start at 17,017 1800 and you have to go all the way to the top and you can't really climatized in there. So I mean, you're an endurance athlete. You have to train for this endurance side of things that is really unique because it's very slow paced when you're at that high altitude, but then also your decision making is compromised. Without the oxygen. Yeah. But you trained so you did this with this guy. His name's Jim Morrison, right? Yes. So my significant other. And you guys trained like on Telluride like doing crazy. Right, so I think this was all part of the National Geographic recognition was that we started by training because for me, it's not about training to be an athlete. It's training for exposure and mental state when you're in a tough position. How much I complete my whole life. Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry to step on you. No, that's okay. But I'm interested in how you see it breaking down between how much of this is mental versus physical. Oh, I mean, for this all kind of goes into suffering, it all comes back to suffering, but for me, I like to get into that space where it becomes way more mental than physical and I only do that through kind of intense long and climbing. But obviously, you have to have a high physical level of training and then combine that with the mental side of it. I mean, having kids really has helped train my mentor. My mental fitness, but at some point, the physical fitness, the physicality of climbing only gets you so far. And what really helps me to succeed and maybe others like Alex honnold or Conrad anchor is being able to draw physical strength through mental, toughness. Right. And beyond being a mother, I mean, how do you develop that for yourself? I mean, is that just a matter of putting you into those situations where you're tested? Yeah, it is. I mean, it's really easy for me to put on running shoes and go for a run and keep that physical fitness level. Ride my road bike, go for a mountain bike, but to get that exposure training, I really have to put myself into situations where Telluride is a great place to do this because of these crazy cool wires that are in the mountains there. I can get into a really tight cool wire that rolls to 45° and then you have to pull out ropes and you can't fall or you're going to follow a cliff. You have to really be on every turn. And that to me is where the real training kicks in and plus you're starting to work with all the gear you need harnesses and ropes and gear. For you, it's like even way more. Ridiculous. Let's define our terms here. Okay. There's a lot of mountaineering terms that are well, first of all, like when you first came across my radar, I'm like, wait, what? Like, she does what? I thought like, you know, climbing or mountaineering, Alpine, that's its own little subculture. And then you're even you're into this subculture within a scope of culture. Super key mountaineering and I'm like, what is that even in like, where did this person come from and how does that work? Not only ascending these insane peaks, but you're doing it whiskys and then skiing back down. Right. Yeah. So that complicated thing because I mean, in some ways, I like the skiing part of it because it keeps what you're climbing up to a certain level, because you have to be able to ski down it. So I'm not climbing up el cap carrying skis. That would be interesting. That would be interesting. You know, so it has to be some sort of, I don't know, mountain or objective that, while it has pretty intense Alpine climbing side to it, you still have to be able to ski down it. Right. Or, you know, ski descend. Yeah. How many people are in this little world? Oh my gosh, it's such a small little niche. Yeah. I mean, backcountry skiing or side country skiing, which is when you would go up, mammoth and you would go out back and I don't know if mammoth house back into gates, but go into the side country. Backcountry is where you're just ski touring. There's tons of that in the Sierra mountains. There's tons of that all over the U.S., the Alps, where you put skins on your skis and you walk up something and you ski back down. Ski mountaineering, I define it as something that's more multi day and typically requires travel to some sort of foreign exotic adventurous place. That's not doesn't have to be, but that ski mountaineering and ski mountaineering to me involves crampons, which are the spiky things on your bottom of your boots and ice axes and harnesses and there's a huge climbing aspect to it. Yeah, it's so dynamic because you have to be you have to be so multi disciplinary. Right. And approach. And it's different from Alpine climbing in the sense that a lot of ski mountaineering, even though you're with partners, you're doing all the climbing by soloing, you're not necessarily roped together and that was the case on pups where which was 3000 foot, 50 to 60° basically ice face that you're just soloing. And why do you think you were able to master it this time? Like what happened in 2013, what changed that allowed you to conquer it? Well, the beauty of going back to a second place or going back to a place a second time is you have done all the reconnaissance. And so that was new to me and it really just allowed me to not have to focus so much on the logistical planning and really just focus on the mountain and the peak and having already seen it and knowing what it was all about. There was a third member that went with us, so we were a team of three this time and Chris viggen Shaw. He was with me in 2013. I made a lot of logistical changes in that we went later in the year, so we went this time in May instead of March and we went with just three of us in 2013, there were like 7 of us, which is just too many for a face like that. And we approached differently. So the biggest problem in 2013 was that we only had eyes for one particular route.

"I felt like waking to the first day of fall. You walk outside one day and you know it's no longer summer. Specific date doesn't dictate the shift. It's not so subtle a combination of light temperature smell, moisture, and wind direction. And unequivocally reached adulthood. Those years were in the rear of your mirror. There was no point in wishing them back. Yosemite was calling. Just like it had been for the last 15 years. You get monkeys were waiting. So I kept going with the same dogged persistence of crash. With the same singularity and directive of an accelerator, pressed to the floor. Austin and I drove through the night. I took the final leg, considered stopping just before the park's interests, but kept going. We slid into the valley before dawn for tour buses filled the roads. 5 days later, when the gimp monkey's belly flopped onto the summit of el cap, exhausted, but full of smiles. I knew I'd match their energy. I'd given my home to tell that story. I don't.

"I'm eating dinner at Walmart for 88 cents. You're very functional. I have nothing to compare. Nothing to compare this to. But I used to paint. And you know, I'd be up pretty high in a ladder, certainly not el cap, but and I had a ladder. So I would hate it because all I would do was think. It wasn't the painting. It wasn't the heights. It wasn't the wind. It wasn't anything. It was just that all I'm doing is thinking the entire time because the painting once you get decent at it sort of mindless. And then I started thinking about you and I thought maybe with your personality. And you can't, it's not like you'd be mindless when you're technically climbing this kind of challenging mountain. But do you think your personality is the perfect makeup for your sport? I don't know about that, but I will say that I totally hear you on the having time to think. And that is one of the things I love about climbing that I love about solon. Because with all the hiking to and from mountains and all the and all the easy soloing is mindless enough that you can just kind of think like you're saying. And I really like that. And so on something like a cap, probably a third of it actually is pretty mindless. I mean, maybe a third of the face is relatively easy climbing, like easy enough grade that my mind can wander and I can think about whatever. And then a third of it's like more serious and then a third of its kind of hardcore where you have to be like 100% like this is intense. But no, I like the mindlessness. I like the thinking the time to yourself to just sort of wonder about the world. You know, it's like, that's a big part of being outdoors to myth for me. I felt a little guilty during a guy that isn't married. When Sonny's basically like, I took your side in one of the arguments. I was not on your side when you were shopping for a house and you weren't helping where the tape measure. I took Sony side on that one because I did think that was a bad look. But I remember watching the movie and being kind of frustrated on your behalf. You're like, hey, this is pretty hard on its own. I don't need to be told all the bad things and you were kind of like, hey, it was almost like you were a customer service. You're like, you're position is noted. And I'm going to keep climbing. I know it's a movie and clearly everything has worked out. But that was, I found that kind of tough because I think all of us that were invested in the movie were kind of on your side because we wanted to see you accomplish this great feat. And it felt a little bit like I know where she was coming from, but I don't know. I guess maybe you weren't even frustrated by it because you were so focused, but it was just kind of an odd dynamic, I think, because it was like, oh, he doesn't need this. Oh, I don't know. I mean, it's just like those types of conversations are such an integral part of a climbing relationship. It's like, you know, I mean, the conversation that's on film, but it's like, we probably had variations of that conversation, you know, dozens of times. And it's not necessarily that's contentious or that's like a problem in the relationship. It's just that you can't do dangerous things without talking to your partners about it. And not just romantic partner, like with my wife, but like all my climbing partners, like every time you're doing something in the big mountains, you're doing albinism like you're constantly talking about risk and people's individual willingness to take risks. And so I don't know. Not that stressed if somebody needs to have some conversations about it. Yeah, no, you're right. And there's a lot that we don't see. And obviously.

"Would have happened there? Yeah, it just wasn't really ready. I mean, I wanted to do it. I hope to do it and I just couldn't basically. But yeah, no, it's all very fairly portrayed in the film. I mean, I sprained my ankle, maybe 6 weeks before. And thought that it was going to happen in my season, but then I was able to sort of do some prep work. You know, I recovered fairly quickly. And was like, oh, you know what? I think I can do it. But in the fall like that, the season was kind of ending. Like, winter is coming. It's going to start storming. It's getting too cold. As you're getting too short, it all, you know, it was like winding down. And I was like, oh, I really want to do this, now that I've put a lot of effort into it. And at that point, I put a lot of effort into the top part, which is where the technically the harder climbing is, but I hadn't put that much effort into the bottom. And then I gave up on the bottom because I just wasn't really ready for it. So as it turns down, I came back in the spring, I managed to put in more prep on both halves and felt much better. So the day it happens, like when you're heading to the first lab, did you just know there was everything so finely tuned at least mentally physically that you just like, okay, this is it. Yeah, yeah, pretty close. I mean, you know, whenever you're doing something that you've never done before, there's always a little bit of hesitation like, oh, this is pretty exciting. This is something. So I was confident I knew it was the day I was ready outside. But at the same time, we're still like, oh jeez, you know, because it's still a pretty daunting looking piece of rock. I remember the day that I did it, I actually parked over, I normally part kind of directly in front of el cap and you hike straight up to the wall. And the day that I did that part sort of at the east end of el cap at a different parking lot and then hiked kind of the length of the wall because I didn't want to be there didn't want to run into anybody in the parking lot and have to talk to anyone. Can you see other climbers all the time? They're like, oh, what are you doing today? Like, oh yeah, you know, and it's like, I just didn't want any interaction, so I kind of parked it like the side lot, and then it meant that I had to walk the whole length of a cap, which is not that much further, but it means that you're walking underneath the wall for 15, 20 minutes. And the whole time, we're like, that's a big wall. You know, it really gives you gives you a lot of time to reflect on the scale. Yeah, I know. It is a big wall. I talked to somebody who watched the movie on a flight, and she said she had to take a Xanax at some point. It's just too much. Which we'll definitely get to in the virtual reality stuff that you have coming out. All right, so that's the day. And this may sound stupid, but I imagine the soloing part of it probably makes you better, does it ramp it up where you just feel like every single movement every single maneuver, everything is just that more in tune because you just know, right? Yeah, it can. I mean, like sometimes you can climb at your best and like you're saying everything feels crisp and precise and you're like 100% focused on every movement. You definitely can be that way. But it also can be the opposite where you're like in your own head and you're like, oh my God, if I split my diet, you're all gripped and you're like holding on too tightly and like moving like two jerky like kicking to things and all kind of like spastic because you're like holding on too tightly. So basically it can be climbing at its best if you're relaxed and climbing well but it really depends on what you bring to it. Was there ever a moment, you know, I don't know if there was how the filming of it all worked even though the Doc actually kind of is almost doing a documentary of itself. Then I watched the other outside piece of it the other day where you guys were hanging out in your crew. It's amazing. Really how locked in everybody was and how much they cared. But there's a story through it and even in some of the outside pieces that I saw of just you being like, this might be easier if we just don't film it. Like how much would you ever come close to telling your friends like maybe this just isn't the way to do it because it certainly feels like a lot of people in your position impacts it to what degree none of us would understand, but there.

"Version of reach talk. Enjoy. Okay, so here's the story, I promise. I'm gonna wrap all this up in a beautiful little package for you guys. In 1954 in 1953, a man named Roger Bannister ran the mile in under a minute. Here's why that matters. Until 1953 in the history of the world, we never had recorded evidence that a human being could run the mile in under a minute. People thought it wasn't possible. So Roger Bannister works on it, figures it out, runs a mile in under a minute. So from the beginning of time to 1953, no recorded documentation of anybody doing this. Within 6 months of Roger Bannister running the mile in under a minute, it was something like, well, does it have that information? 50 people, 60 people, 1000 people, a million. I don't remember the number. But basically, all these other people did it. Nobody believes something's possible until somebody proves that it's possible, like Alex honnold free soloing el cap or this guy seeing the other man climb 14 peaks and going, hey, maybe I could do it and maybe I could do it in less time. All of that to say, I love watching documentaries like this because it's so inspiring to see what humans are capable of. And it doesn't mean that you're going to run out and decide to climb a bunch of mountains, but it may just inspire you to do something that you don't currently believe that you can do. Watch these documentaries. I know you're going to love them. But here's something I learned watching 14 peaks. The inspiration, the beauty, the shots, the mountains, whatever. Did you know? That if you're climbing Everest, if at any point, you're all or climbing up the side of a snowy mountain and you can't keep going, they leave you to die. When you are in the mountains..

"There was no problem of administration. There was no giving you rights to sell the car. There was just the easy hand off of an asset as a barer instrument. And the el cap model is fundamentally almost everything is a bearer instrument, and that just means that patterns of change of who's allowed to do what, patterns of exchange, all of those just emerge out of yeah. I give you my cash, you give me my goods. We're done, right? And so they're very intuitive and very, very natural, especially to program, especially to people who have program in object frameworks like react or view or any of these things. Yeah, thanks for thanks for a little bit on the hood here. Maybe we can talk about this. So if you think of that now, you know, as JavaScript as this place to run smart contracts, I mean, today, even though you have so many different blockchains, it doesn't actually seem there's like that many models for doing smart contacts that have gotten traction. You basically have to EVM that has obviously the most traction. And then you have the EVM that's like running on many different chains, you know, Ethereum, avalanche, finance, small chain, et cetera, et cetera, and that dozens of little polygon, like many of them. And then you have I think Solana that has subtraction. Yeah, it's a good traction. You have this magnet, smart contracts. In RAS, you also have them. I think that has quite a bit of usage. Maybe there's not much. So I'm curious how do you see this play out? Do you think they're going JavaScript smart contract model? Will those be relevant for different use cases different areas where we have converge on fewer smart contract standards or will there be an explosion more in the future? So I actually think that there will be, you know, the number we have that we have including JavaScript is about right. If you think about now the programming world of web two, it's 13.9 million JavaScript developers. A bunch of rust developers, a bunch of sea developers and you know, sort of a list of languages, but the models are pretty similar in some cases. So let me pop out of that. The so I think there will be multiple models. The key thing for us is we're primarily focused on bridging to new developers. And new development, these are developers often FinTech developers, they know what's up with money. They heard there's an opportunity they come over and look, they look at salinity and go, that's a weird language, right? And your development environment sucks, and you have no testing tools and I have to use a different tools and I'm gonna go work for my buddy's hedge fund because I can make this much and yeah, whatever. Yeah, yeah. You talk about frothy returns and maybe, you know, but I understand volatility and you know, you can get in the returns you think you're getting some time, right? So you know, these are experts that they come and look and they go, you know, come back to me when you're grown up, right? Because it's just the bar is so low in terms of programmability. And programmability scaling the programmers is the hardest thing to scale. And so our focus is on programmability. Now, when I used the analogy of react a bunch, when react came out, experts were already doing pretty amazing stuff in JavaScript in browsers. And partly due to people that are here at a gore, driving sound software engineering into the JavaScript language, sort of in retrospect with strict mode and promises and proxies and stuff like that. But 6 months after react came out, beginners, new programmers could do more interesting, more responsive, more interactive, easier to internationalize mobile friendly applications better than experts could a year before because they had components and a framework to plug them together. And that literally gives you exponential growth in the effectiveness of programmers because every month there's a month more worth of components that they could slap together. I could grab a slideshow in a payment component and put it together and launch a site. Next month, I can grab a slideshow and interesting alerting compartment that shows me the status of my paintings and a payment component and update my site. Then I can do a vain and component that can handle ACH as well as, you know, I mean, all these kinds of things where I'm just gradually growing. Oh, one better now? Well, now there's a new nav component that does slick cool infinite scrolling for you, you know? I mean, whatever it is, right? And you can plug those together, even if you could not build them yourselves. And that leverage get gave real growth to the expressiveness that less senior programmers that were steeped in the ancient arts of async updating of your screen when models changed. And now suddenly, millions of programmers could do pretty awesome stuff pretty easily. And those experts can focus on really high value components that other people could use. And that's what we're bringing. So it's not just JavaScript, which would make a difference because now you can tap into 10 million plus developers for.

"Go searching around on my disk. I'll tell you what I want you to read. And so I pass that into the eval. It reads a file. You got simpler code, cleaner code, and oh by the way, accidentally more secure code. And that's sort of the basic object capability architecture is just use objects have the right frameworks which someone who's more expert than it can define it. But now when someone's building components, they just have available to them what they're allowed to use. It's called the principle of least authority, and it is sort of a long, standing bastion of how you make systems actually secure is you give them just enough authority to get their job done, you don't give them all the user's authority to read all the users files. If they don't need that. And libraries don't need that. And in default JavaScript in rust and C and Java in all these languages, everything launches where libraries can do anything the user can do, and it's just a bad architecture. Our model of ocas gets rid of that. And you need that for smart contracts. Right. So maybe I want more question on that. So if I let's say if you look at something like, right? Like my understanding will be that like, okay, as a very much of an amateur who has no clue basically. But one of the ways that smart contract might be vulnerable is, okay, there's some function in this smart contract and it was meant to be a maybe used by this program in some way. Debates a mistake and now basically anyone can go and call that function in some way that wasn't intended. And so maybe I maybe it's like the program was like, oh, distribute these tons, but actually anyone can come up and say I'm going to send this. So how would this be different in because a function, the object and fundamentally, I mean, that's like The Blacklist model of security rather than the whitelist model of security. You can do anything to anyone unless they put up barriers to stop you. And if they forget, oh well. Too bad. Right. Not a great system design architecture. So yeah, in like, let's talk about ERC 20. And the approved function and that sort of thing. Or before you actually, if I was going to pay you a token, I would expect to get the token and hand it to you. So Brian dot enjoy open par in token. Enjoy open concert ticket better still, right? And maybe with objects now, we both have it, but you'd have some library so you could say, great, I take acceptance of it now I have it uniquely and you don't. So I send you the package and you open the package and now you have it and I don't. And so that's what we build in our smart contract framework. In Ethereum, you can't do that. You can't pass objects, which means you fundamentally can't do all caps. Instead, what happens is I talk to another contract over there and say, take this money, take this token, take this concert ticket, set it aside for Brian. He's going to come get it. And then I tell Brian, okay, I said a package for you, number 37 over on that he actually 20 contact. Go get it there. And now you go to that ARC 20 times and say, hey, I'm Brian. Let me show you my ID, and you get the package, right? And that's the ERC 21. That's fundamentally what's going on, except that if there's going to be a bunch of stuff you might want to do, like, I want you to buy a stock for me, you know, and then I want you to buy another stock. And then, you know, you're like, you're my portfolio manager. Every time am I going to take a $100 and I'll put it over there and then you go over there and pick it up or I just say, let me put a $1000 and just give a general thing that Brian could come and take whatever he needs out of my $1000 and he'll figure it out. And well, you know, now that's essentially the approved function. Okay, I put all $1 million and I'm expecting you to do a $1000 at a time and you want to go on vacation. You just take all $1 million, go buy a vacation, you promise to pay it back. I mean, what's gonna happen? What's the worst rate? Okay. An analogy I like here and this goes back to the easy to understand things is if I lend you my car, right? The Ethereum model is I tell my car, Brian's allowed to drive it. You then take my car, you go to the hotel. You want to park it, you go to the valet, and you say what's your name? Oh, I'm Joe. You try and add them to the car, and it turns out you can not. And now either I have to make you an administrator so you can add anyone as well. So not only can you park my car, you could sell it. Or you come home, you know, SOL. Instead, the O2 model is, here's my key. You now get into the car, drive the car. That doesn't give you access to my house. It doesn't give you access to my money. It gives you access to my car. You go to the hotel. You hand the key to the valet. You don't need to know who the valet is. You just need to know that they're now responsible for the car. They go off duty, they hand the key to the next valet, you come out, take the key you drive home, you give it back to me. We're all done. And there was no discussion of who these people were. There was no problem of administration. There was no giving you rights to sell the car. There was just the easy hand off of an asset as a barer instrument. And the el cap model.

It's actually well written article, though. They've got the jackass injury list. Basically all the injuries that jackass ever had, and then how much money it's costing hospital bills for all the things obviously, Johnny Knoxville had racked up the most. You guys wanna take a guess How much money in hospital bills Johnny Knoxville's had to pay. I need context because the jackass phenomenon happened outside of my sphere. So I know that it was an MTV show. But was it an MTV show First and then a movie later it was a T V show. Yes, and then because I also know there's things called Bam Margera. There's all sorts of things tied to this round, boys. Viva la bam! Yeah, You're right. So I'm just asking because I don't know there's like a mountain of programming. That guy's ramming each other in the Nets. Okay, so, Johnny Yeah. I mean, it's just this is through the latest version, because as the older they get, the more likely they are to have to go to the hospital and this newest version, it looked like a bull completely flips him.

All right, I'm going to guess I'm gonna sit in and this is just monetary. Hmm. Okay. Over all the years, Johnny Knoxville has had, uh And this is not his out of pocket. This is total expense. Right? Okay. I would say it's $500,000 higher. Hold on fire. I would say hi. Say 1.8 million, but I was going to ask you. This is 20 years of programming right, like didn't mean to complete 20 years. But, yeah, I don't think they were on steadily the whole time. We're talking three movies and a couple seasons of, however, and when they were on, I don't really know it wasn't home boy, the one in the ringer. Johnny Knoxville.

And so when i first heard of alex i knew that i had to figure out a way to interview him and i got to do that at in. Two thousand nineteen at hyper growth boston. 'cause we talk about everything about free so and how you train. How the film was made why he lives in las vegas of all places and his foundation that he said up called the handled foundation which a lot of the work that he does goes to the proceeds go to ronald foundations and so many things that he does including his own personal social media habits. All right let me know what you thought of this episode. Alex donald mind-blowing episode so fortunate to spend time with him don't forget six only rating shouted out to our donald piece. We're in boston at the wang theater. Second nightclub it's got this music blasting if you don't hear that and we're getting ready it's eight. Am yeah that's the thing that makes a real barely had breakfast. And there's like club music and tons of people with glow sticks very high energy. Do you have breakfast. Yeah yeah yeah. I always do breakfast most important today. Really yeah scott actually Yeah it totally depends on where am doing. I had breakfast. But i've been up since four thirty jet lag site china's some sort of on an unusual program. It's crazy so you're coming back from a tour of promoting your movie free so low right in china. What were you doing. Just in beijing doing crafts for two days. It was just Yeah it was just the film premiere and tons of I don't really know. Honestly that's kind of the the the beauty. The interest of traveling. Asia's you just never have any idea what's happening. Just people telling me what to do with no real sense of why. I'm doing it or who's asking what's happening continuing that here. Yeah exactly exactly. This is definitely more surreal scene than than anything in beijing. That is funny. It's crazy you're going to be speaking today. At hyper growth young. What are you going to be speaking about today. I'm going to be talking a bit about my whole journey reselling gap. He's probably fair to assume that a lot of people here have seen the film but go a little bit deeper into some of the backstory and just the process. You know the things that the film doesn't cover well when you watch this film. What's the feeling you've got like the rest of us. No definitely not. When i watched the film. It's like flipping through a scrapbook like it helps me remember all the actual things that happen. You know. it's obviously i mean. The film is is incredible but the mostly for me. It just reminds me of all things because the film is ninety minutes long and it was shot over two years. I mean there's a lot a lot of life happened in that time you see you on the the film were there are really air is in the film. I mean you know it's all it's all. True documentary is all very thin. So there's nothing wrong with it but it's more adjoussou omissions. But not like not is just edited. I mean it's just ninety minutes instead of you know. I mean the the final climb in the film is twenty minutes long and it's incredible as beautifully shot as you know i i love washing it but actual climate four hours and i remember the whole thing. So we'll let you do want to do the movie like such a solo part of the reason that the movie was just because it it made it easier to work on the project. Sorta counter-intuitively bend the thing is. There's a lot of work involved in working on that. A lot of just toil carrying rope coiling arrives managing and so by doing a film and then my friends were busy. Getting paid to help me on my project so excuse for yeah and it's kind of a cover also in a way because if i was up there repelling down the same section of vocab over and over working on it anybody's he'd be like oh he's obviously parents sola it but because we were filming was actually more like oh. We're working on his nat. Go project if you be like oh cool. They're like. Oh maybe the shooting. A history of the south i wall which is the section of the wall i was on or it's like you know. Or maybe they're shooting because occasionally go. We're shooting from national parks. Recapping for najia sort of faye. You know true but not statistically yeah but so it gave a lot of flexibility it just kind of made sense. The people like the people on the cast actually filming where the actor friends of yours you. Yeah i've ever on the crew. Were close friends of mine. That i've climbed with over the years that i've been friends with for many years. Yeah i mean like jimmy chan the co-director we've traveled together twelve years or something so yeah i think so. I think i've known him since. You don't seven piney. We're both on the north face team on expeditions. All over like we've gone already together. We spent a lot of time together. Yeah how many years have you been professionally climbing since two thousand seven okay. That's quite a journey and so all of them are real primers. Yeah so a couple of the couple of the crew members were sort of verite film maker. So jimmy's wife tribe mazzarelli early in the director of the film co-director so she brought more of the verite background to it with She's not a climber but she's a gifted filmmaker and then she brought her team members people that she'd worked with in the past who were a little bit more focused on on the baroness but yeah basically anything is. After two years of all together you wind up being pretty good friends with friends out of me and no one me. Two years is a long time somebody that they'd be married and you got married during no no no number number okay. So just Seem yeah we what we moved in. After the first week or some- executant cars. Just move into replace. Come to stay. But that actually happened during the filming. Yeah so i met my girlfriend after we'd already started filming free solo. Yeah so i'm yes. Our entire relationship plays out you know. Yeah it's crazy yes. Yeah so what. Start all this. I just pursued declining. Yeah i mean. I've just always left on. I find since. I was ten years old. So it's like my entire life is just invested into this one pursue. Yeah yeah and then. If you're going to do what you wanna do it well. You want to be as good as you can. And so you know have put a lot of effort and over the years and what do you how do you think about that. You're next thing now. They used that you've done this. I don't know. I mean honestly. That's the hardest thing every single you know cuny do with audiences any event. I do errands like what's that sort of. I don't know it's hard think that way. Do you think like like from the outside looking at what you've done. Seems like his always pursuit of what's next. What's next how to get better to refine well. The thing is how to get better. No so i am always a how do you get better. What is the next thing. I want to work on the thing. Is that audiences when ask you. What's next they're like when he working free solar to and the reality is that there's never going to be a free solitu- there no other objectives like that in the world. There's you know it's a unique and it was a beautiful confluence of the perfect objective with the right crew. The right you know the right motivation me like it. All came together to make this incredible experience. And you know that's never going to happen again and so you hate to disappoint people with with the light while this is a unique one off. Yeah yeah watching over you know but the thing is i'm still trying to get better climbing on things. I have tons of personal projects. But they're just not ever going to be academy award winning films. They're not interesting in that way. And so I don't know it's hard to be like well. You know the rest of my life will just be back to the the quiet toil way. Yeah exactly exactly and do you have that. You consider like that was a perfect line. I mean free saw. You're pretty close to as good as it gets for me. Two years work for a big climates. Yeah and it went as well as a good hard was. It seemed like almost impossible. Even the people actually filming. It seemed like doing when you were doing climb. That's pretty difficult even having people on the wall and keep them a wall. I don't know. I mean you've spoken to jimmy as well. I mean i'm sure. He said the same thing that that they spent. You know all the time that i spent working on the climb they spend well. They spent documenting my practice for that awesome ended. They were up on the wall practicing as well and so by the time. I actually did the climb. They knew exactly what they were doing in the same way that i did. Yeah and so you know by the end. It wasn't really a challenge at all to have have all of us up there. You know we all knew exactly what to do how to do it. Which did you grow up Sacramento california good ole sack. Is there any climbing intact Not not really. Though it's it's close to the sierra nevada close like clergy seventy. I grew up camping and all that. But it's I basically just had the good fortune of climate. Jim opening near my house and i was a kid so i was able to just start climbing the climate gin and and really. That's as good a place as any to learn. This surprised when i was watching the movie that you you moved to vegas like land knowing anything about vegas. Everybody assumes that they just gambling is actually the best four season climbing in the country. There's rock all around it. There's there a lifetime supply of hard time around. Vegas and vegas really. I think makes us really the best in the country and there's climbing at all elevation so you can climb the winner. You climb the summer plans. Rainfall like every other city in the country has You know seasons where you can't clown. Yeah i would assume my colorado or like just yeah exactly. Everybody thinks says she's not really the case. And even some of the places that are considered mountain town like boulder. Colorado is the heart of finding. Yeah but the reality is when you're in boulder dr the climate twenty twenty five minutes drive up into the canyons yet and from my house in vegas you can be climbing in the same amount of time but but it's better it's crazy and you always been like a climbing area in vegas who's becoming since the nineties. Yeah actually i would say it's becoming more and more it actually so. I bought a house her three years ago. I guess and then another professional climber about hustler. A couple of years ago think the climbing community is definitely blossoming. A little bit. Yeah like. I don't think it was ever quite on the map for for high end hard climbing. And i think it's becoming more so now but was indeed a free solo bump now i mean i haven't seen we'll see the real the real bummed seeing people at the climbing gym climbing in the same shoes that i saw in the pump for like. Oh cool you took you into the gym and you bought like even though they're not designed for them they're totally different. You should be like. It's not what you should come the gym but But that's kind of what. I what i noticed any year yourself your own like make your oh now. So one of my sponsors backed on signature series harnessed talkback benefits foundation and then actually. My rogue sponsor maximum. They also make your series for of the medicine. Basically all my sponsors have kind of gone on board to to support the asia through through random product. But but i don't make anything myself. 'cause i just i'm not. I'm an unsurprising. All your big year guy. I'm not like way into it. I was like. I don't have strong opinions. I can use whatever that led to the huddle foundation like starting it. I mean that was just yes foundation sports solar projects now and And i mean. I guess i i started in two thousand twelve. I guess because. I was just looking for something useful to do you know i was starting to earn more than i needed to live with my band and i just felt like i should be contributing somewhere. Yeah and so. Yeah and actually. That's been the one great thing about free solo taken off crazy way because the film the foundation is has really thrived the last year. That's awesome which Yeah which is great because you. Don't what motivates you to keep doing this like what you're telling me to some extent yeah You know it's not like the quality of my life all by being more famous like like honestly every time i fly. Now it's actually so the last four or five as step off the plane. I'm like shell nice headphones during a haggard. You're sleeping like the very first version sees like are you the free solo guy. And you're like oh man. Come on like you're in the men's room. And the like come on mentioning. That might be my biggest. Beavis people stop in the men's room. Yeah it's kind of like when you're when you're working out in a gym or something you're sort of like You know you're not supposed to do something in the weight room. Let people finish their says like the like. You have a timer going. You got a bunch of weight hanging off you and you're like doing stuff and you're sort of like. Is this the time like you got a job right now and be like old hat in vegas now or do people still stop you in that community. it's more anywhere that i spent time routinely as way more joe. Yes so like my old. Jim in sacramento. My job in vegas are definitely a lot more relaxed. But it's funny because people will start climbing vegas like someone new to the gym and they'll be like. Oh my god. What are you doing here. This incredible and i'm like this is my home jam. Cover four train your all the time and they're like well. It's my first time and i'm psyched and that's cool. I mean i'm totally into that. You know and. I like the enthusiasm. Newcomers like it's great that you know it's good for the sport. It's it's all great but you know it just yet ground down a little bit. You're like it's not. It doesn't like make life any better by nation is thriving and i'm able to actually like a couple of weeks ago. That project the reporting in detroit and was hoping with his this translation on on the home there. And when you meet the homeowners when you see the projects when you see all the good income that i mean it is pretty satisfying sort of like. Oh it's worth having all the weirdos during you like us autographing. What are the best things that one of my favorite things like in the movie just watching you and other videos is how much focus you put on training right because like for most people seem like they would just see the end result and it just seems like magic like you are just whatever like you can just like spider man climbed things but like you feel watching youtube video and they'd have to just walk up to a cliff and climate. How do you know where to go. And your walks. I find it a hundred times before practice. Different two years not member as the moves. And i'm trained and yet i know i know it's funny because climbing is i mean well you know you have been climbing. There's just no. It's not easy to be a good climber like there's just they're no real short guys like you just. It's just hard and so young. Put a lot of work into it's crazy. How do people Keep keep up with you online I mean i'm on all the social media lab one southside alex okay but But it's funny. Because i've been i've been racing all the apps off my phone and then i installing stream like once we got like maybe post something that racy app again consol just a bit too much time and not no no. I think i've just been a little too public last year. A little like you know. I think one of the things. We're social as you have to want to share some of yourself. And i think when you're doing too much sharing to begin with like i don't i don't need to like post more you know. I'm trying to struggle with that from every once in a while. Just like doing the same deleting all those apps yeah. They're trying to see how i can go with them whether it's like twitter instagram. Whatever then i add them back then. I removing them. I had movement stuff like that. And i feel like for what we do. Obviously like we do a lot on social media. And i do a lot on social media but i feel like if it wasn't for this like i would just be like gone or this i mean that's that's the thing to me you know because i'm trying to promote the film. I'm kinda you know. Be good for my sponsors. Or i'm trying to promote my nation or share the things that i care about sharing environmental. She's public lands and she's the opposite the things that matter to me. You know like i. I appreciate having the platform and having having a way to share ideas but at the same time. We're like sometimes you just want to sit by yourself in a closet. Not not there so thank you for doing this..

"With a new friend last month jordan. Cannon celebrated his twenty seventh birthday. The big wall climber likes to set himself a birthday challenge like scaling ten really hard pitches in one day but this year he went even bigger on may second jordan announced on instagram. That he's gay making him the first male professional climber to come out publicly. My post went way better than i than i could have hoped for. positively overwhelming. I would say how did that make you feel very loved. Jordan had been terrified before the announcement until recently. You'd had a hard time even coming out to his close friends and he wasn't used to feeling loved not at all but that's started to change. After jordan met legendary ios seventy climber mark hued on a few years ago. Jordan could legitimately be my grandson jordan and mark started climbing together and soon decided to take on one of the biggest challenges in the sport as a team but what began as an athletic partnership turned into a life changing friendship for both of them. That rare signed that allows you to fulfill your dreams in ways. You don't even believe are possible. What were your first impressions of each other marked. You want to i. She's asking. You owe me trying to avoid the question. What did i think of mark when i first saw the first thing was wow. He's a lot shorter than i expected. Mark is typically Glowing with excitement and energy just to being outside going climbing or talking to his friends and he was friendly yet very charismatic. Not not old curmudgeon. Like you might assume. Some older climbers to be like. They sound like this now but when they first met at a climbing event near lake tahoe and twenty. Eighteen jordan was pretty starstruck by mark. If you know anything about me and my climbing. I really like you semi climbing and i really like climbing history. Mark was a big climbing hero. Mine and somebody who is steeped in the assembly climbing lord that i was really familiar with at this point jordan was already a skilled and ambitious climber but the part of the sport that he loved most free climbing big walls like seventies el capitan. That all started back in the nineteen seventies with mark and his climbing partner max jones. That's when new tools like spring. Loaded anchors allowed climbers to ascend roots in the so-called free style using ropes. Only to catch them if they fell but not to pull themselves up a route well. Free clinton was common but free climbing at a very very difficult level was uncommon and free climbing. Al capp hadn't even been done yet. It was one of those things were as just so big. And so while that people didn't even conceive that you could climb it at one point mark and max free climbed all but three hundred feet of the salif awol one of the iconic routes up the three thousand foot sheer face of el cap and this was in nineteen seventy nine and this blue people's minds big wall free climbing. That's my favorite thing to do. And max and mark are huge players in that history. It's it's pretty funny. Being a legend jordan and mark ended up talking a lot at that lake tahoe event. The even climb together on some nearby routes on donner pass. That mark had pioneered back in the day. I saw that mark was still climbing so climbing. Hard rafer the gecko. It was obvious that jordan was way into it was felt that it was really cool to be climbing there at the cliff. Where maximum i did you know. So many hard routes not surprisingly they got on the topic of yosemite and mark confessed that even though he's now sixty two he still sometimes dreamed of completing a full free climb of el cap. he'd been free rider the same route. That alex hanalei famously climbed without any ropes in two thousand seventeen. I wanted to free. Climb out cap. It's a big thing. I mean it's a it's a giant thing and it's been a big thing in my life and so i thought well i could probably do free writer. I could probably work on it. He'd already done some work on free-rider attempting it a couple of times but he never really got close to the top things just sort of fell apart and nothing really happened. And so i just sorta gave up on it. And i went. Oh well you know. I mean you. Don't get everything you want in life. Sometimes that really surprised me. Because i was like dude what you like. You can't give up. You gotta you gotta go back you gotta you gotta see see it through but seeing through a climb of means putting a monstrous physical effort. That can be tough. Even on young climbers it takes intensive training mark. Figured a years worth even. If you're in top shape climbing free writer can take days and you have to lug a pile of gear up the wall with you when you're on l. cap. You know you've gotta hall all your water your food. You're sleeping gear the extra gear. You've gotta hall all that up the cliff behind you. And so i told jordan i just said i can't haul it. You know there. I just. I can't do any hauling on the whole route. And i would need to devote a year of my life to it. You know i would have to spend a year climbing with someone and getting in shape and psyching up and not have to go work the route and you know that's what i need. So i describe this whole thing to jordan. He said oh no big deal. I can do that. You know i'll do that for you and i said. Are you sure i go. This is a whole year. We're talking about and he goes. Oh yeah no problem. And i went. Okay and here was you know. I've barely even knew this guy. Then they seem to be in very different places in their lives in some important ways they were ready to find. Each other jordan had climbed free-rider once already and after that he and his climbing partner were tempting.
