Alex Honnold is probably the most famous climber in the world since the film Free Solo, documenting his amazing free solo up El Capitan. But Alex has way more achievements under his belt than free solos. We had him in our program at Mountains on Stage film festival several times, from the long bike trips called Sufferfest with Cedar Wright, to the Fitz Roy traverse with Tommy Caldwell, that earned him a Golden Ice Axe, or Piolet d’or, for the best alpine achievement of the year.

Alex is currently spending a month in the mecca of bouldering that is Fontainebleau, and we had the privilege to talk to him after a climbing session.
