Alex Honnold is an American rock climber, born in 1985, who is best known for free soloing big wall routes, which means climbing them with no rope or protection. His ascent of Freerider on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park in June 2017 was the first full free solo of a big wall climb at that technical grade and made him famous worldwide. In 2015 he and Tommy Caldwell won a Piolet d'Or for linking the Fitz Traverse in Patagonia over five days. He wrote the memoir Alone on the Wall with David Roberts and is the subject of the documentary Free Solo, which won an Academy Award and a BAFTA.
