The backdrop for this episode are the ascents by world-class rock climber Alex Honnold (one featured in the documentary film, "Free Solo") of Half Dome and El Capitan, the two iconic granite structures in Yosemite National Park that are favorites of climbing enthusiasts the world over. What we discover are some profound, practical, and applicable life principles that emerge in having a close look into Alex's mindset, preparation, and experiences.
