Alex Honnold is a super-cool atheist rock climber profiled on 60 Minutes and landed on the cover of National Geographic back in May ’11. Oh, did I mention he doesn’t use a harness when he climbs?
From the video’s description:
Alex is arguably the best free solo rock climber in the world. In addition to breaking many speed records, he has completed the only known solo climb of the Yosemite Triple crown Mt. Watkins, El Capitan, and Half Dome. He has been featured on the cover of National Geographic and was profiled on CBS’s 60 Minutes.
Turns out he’s also taking part in the…
… upcoming photography book A Better Life: 100 Atheists Speak Out on Joy and Meaning in a World Without God. For more information, visit: http://www.theatheistbook.com
Here’s the awesome vid where he describes the “sublime bliss” he feels when he’s climbing:
Enjoy!
