How I Climbed a 3,000-Foot Vertical Cliff — Without Ropes | Alex Honnold | TED
The Mind · Elite performance mindset · 11:49 · Alex Honnold
The TED talk on free-soloing El Capitan — how a decade of rehearsal, visualisation and honest self-assessment turned the most dangerous climb imaginable into a day Honnold describes as feeling almost casual.
Why it earns its runtime: The clearest twelve minutes anywhere on the difference between recklessness and mastery of fear.
