Alex Honnold has lived in a camping bus since the beginning of his career. He says it’s what’s most practical for him. In his van, he can travel from climbing area to climbing area and remain independent. At the start of his career, he drove in his family’s old bus. On June 3, 2017, he made the first free solo ascent of El Capitan, completing the 2,900-foot (884m) route Freerider (5.13a VI) in 3 hours and 56 minutes. [26] The climb, described as "one of the great athletic feats of any kind, ever," [5] was documented by climber and photographer Jimmy Chin and documentary filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi, as the subject of the documentary Free Solo. [27] Among other awards, the film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature (2018). [28] [29] He explains at length why soloing routes well within his ability (most are rated below 5.13) on which he has prepared and rehearsed does not constitute “risk.”
