Alone on the Wall

Alone on the Wall

Alex Honnold and David Roberts
Alex Honnold's account of his free solo of El Capitan and other death-defying climbs, co-written with David Roberts. Honnold is the most famous rock climber alive and also one of the most unusual minds — his calm in the face of certain death is either inspiring or terrifying, depending on your relationship with gravity.
