Re:Alex Honnold Scales El Capitan Without Ropes, and the Cli... by jvreeland on Tuesday June 06, 2017 @03:43PM (#14500557)
The difference in skill between Alex Honnold and the majority of other climbers can't be overstated. But I think the main difference in speed has to do with familiarity. Alex didn't just go up to this wall and start climbing it. He's done it over and over and over and over again. He know what moves he needs to make and how to do them. You climb much quicker when you don't have to do any route finding.
