Free Solo im Yosemite

Alone and unsecured. Only few dare to take the freerider route on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Alex Honnold climbs the vertically sloping granite wall in record time, without any backup. Free climbing solo is an act of balance: between air and rock, hanging and falling, life and death.

In this book, Mark Synnot accompanies the young climber Alex Honnold on his mission to take a route that is considered unmanageable in free solo style. In doing so, he draws a sensitive portrait of this exceptional athlete and opens doors for a deeper understanding of climbing, which carries a great risk of injury even when secured.
