Dangerous Free Soloing Before It Was Cool, The Power of Obsession, and Letting Go at Your PeakIn this episode of Ageless Athlete, host Kush Khandelwal sits down with one of climbing's most iconic and introspective figures—Jerry Moffatt.Long before climbing hit the Olympics or Netflix, before Honnold and El Cap, Jerry was free soloing bold routes in Britain, training with a laser-sharp mindset, and pioneering the life of a professional climber. By the age of 20, he'd conquered the hardest routes in the UK and the US—sometimes onsighting what took others days to figure out.But what truly sets him apart? He chose to walk away at his peak.

TRUMP WILL SOON SUBDUE MEXICAN CARTELS & 'LIBERATE' LATIN AMERICA HOTSPOTS- SAM HONNOLD

Increasingly, it seems that corporate philanthropy (and even personal giving) are reactive rather than proactive. Today's episode challenges that notion with an insightful look into the relationship REC Solar's Cary Hayes has formed with Alex Honnold and his Honnold Foundation, which REC has supported for years with both cash and in-kind donations. Why does Cary believe this is a meaningful part of their annual marketing budget? Hear Cary, Alex & Nico discuss why this is an overlooked marketing line item for most companies, and consider for yourself if supporting non-profits should be more prevalent in yours or anyone's annual budget.Alex Honnold is best known for his daring free solo climbs, but his true passion lies in bringing clean energy to the world's most underserved communities. In a compelling conversation with Cary Hayes, President-America's at REC, Honnold shares the origin and evolution of the Honnold Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to solar power. By focusing on grassroots, "shovel-ready" projects, the foundation empowers local organizations to lead transformative initiatives, from cooperative microgrids in Puerto Rico to solar installations in remote African villages. Honnold's journey—from dirtbag climber living in a van to International superstar spearheading a $50 million project pipeline—underscores the importance of starting small and prioritizing tangible impact over perfection.Following the Hayes/Honnold conversation, host Nico Johnson expands on this vision in a 1:1 with Cary reflecting on the solar industry's unique opportunity to amplify its influence through philanthropy. Cary shares insights from REC Solar's collaboration with the Honnold Foundation and explores how partnerships like these align corporate innovation with community resilience. Nico challenges the solar sector to move beyond profit-driven mindsets, arguing for a mission-first approach that redirects resources toward high-impact projects. Together, they discuss the power of storytelling, collaboration, and leadership to inspire a more sustainable and equitable future.It's time to put our shoulders to the plow, align our resources with our mission, and drive meaningful, community-focused change. We all have a role to play in creating a more sustainable and equitable future.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling:

Alex Honnold, the world-famous rock climber and philanthropist, has pushed the physical boundaries of human potential with his climbing pursuits, but in his travels to some of the world's most remote and beautiful locations he's come face-to-face with one of the world's most urgent challenges: energy access.Alex has never been one to stand by and let others do the hard work. Before his rise to fame with his harrowing, albeit Oscar-winning performance on Yosemite's most famous of all big walls, El Capitan, Honnold has had a soft spot for those without energy access. He points out that at its most fundamental level energy brings opportunity. That's why he created his eponymous foundation to help expand solar energy access and empower underserved communities while promoting conservation in some of the most remote and vulnerable regions on the planet. And he's been donating a third of his income to every year to help underserved communities acquire solar energy since long before achieving international recognition for his climbing feats.If you've been paying attention over the last few years, though, Honnold's “objectives” (climber speak for projects) have blended the thrill of climbing with the responsibility of creating a lasting impact by helping preserve the environment in more ways than just environmental protection. Thanks to Cary Hayes & the REC Solar team, who have been an ongoing corporate partner for Honnold Foundation, Nico recently had a chance to spend the day with Honnold at his home gym outside Las Vegas, NV. (yes, you read that right - we actually got to go to his HOME climbing gym, in his garage, and climb with him! More on that in a forthcoming LI Post…) In this wide-ranging conversation, Alex offers a rare perspective on how personal ambition can align with global progress, and why he believes solar power is a great social justice tool. From free soloing ascents of big walls to addressing energy inequity, Honnold is truly reaching new heights. Tune in to discover:How he balances family life, climbing, and building the Honnold FoundationHow Big Horn sheep helped shape his outlook on lifeWhy solar energy provides more leverage to address social inequalityHow lessons from climbing translate to building lasting impact and entrepreneurshipAnd much, much more (really, we learned a lot from this #SolarWarrior!)If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling:

Alex Honnold si sposa alla perfezione con le teorie dello psicologo ungherese Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, classe 1934 ed emigrato negli USA poco più che ventenne. Csikszentmihalyi in un Ted Talk del 2004, espone uno studio pluridecennale. L'obiettivo consiste nel capire quali sono le condizioni che definiscono una vita come un'esistenza felice e appagante. Una domanda esistenziale che Csikszentmihalyi sviscera e motiva introducendo il concetto di “Flow”.Il podcast di Clara Mazzi: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5UgELWUtAQLUKOvznp2dF8?si=0898831fda6a402aSito: www.storiedimontagna.comContatti: andataeritorno.podcast@gmail.com Newsletter: https://andataeritornopodcast.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andataeritornostoriedimontagna/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/andata-e-ritorno-storie-di-montagna/?viewAsMember=trueFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557903953187&name=xhp_nt__fb__action__open_userThreads: https://www.threads.net/@andataeritornostoriedimontagnaMusic by Epidemic SoundCrediti immagine: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/article/alex-honnold-jimmy-chin-free-solo-yosemite-el-capitan-explore-through-the-lens

MUCH OF LATIN AMERICA OPPOSES UN CLIMATE SCAM RESTRICTIONS-SAM HONNOLD

On May 21st, First Ascent co-host Lee Hansche passed away while setting routes at the climbing gym while he worked. Today, Jay is releasing the final episode that they recorded together, as it reflects what a great man Lee was and what a joy it was to speak with him about climbing. If you would like to donate in Lee's name, please visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/lee-hansche. The proceeds will be split between the Rumney Climbers Association and the Central New Hampshire Climbers Association, two organizations that support climbing areas that Lee loved so much. In this episode, originally titled Honnold & Midtbø Revisited + Lies on Action Direct, Jay and Lee share their thoughts on recent controversial happenings in the climbing sphere. They'll rehash their opinions about Alex Honnold and Magnus Midtbø's free solo in light of Magnus's reaction video with his girlfriend. (Check out our first episode on that free solo here) Then, they'll break down the controversy surrounding Said Belhaj's claim that he sent Action Directe. And finally, they'll bring it closer to home with a history of the ladder controversy at Waimea, since it has begun to heat up once again. Disclaimer: The information expressed in this episode is for entertainment purposes only, and is not intended as, nor should it be interpreted as, informational or instructional.

Graham goes one-on-one with one of the world's most renowned rock climbers, Alex Honnold. Known for his heartracing "free solo" climbs - where he ascends 2,000-foot rock walls without ropes or safety equipment - Honnold reflects on his mindset of casting aside fear, visualizing death and the advantages and disadvantages of living in a van. Now a father of two, Honnold also reflects in this 2015 interview about the difficulty of being in relationships as he ascends to the top of his sport.

HOW OLD IS THE HUMAN RACE? DAVE HODGES-SAM HONNOLD DEBATE

Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?Alex Honnold recounts that though he has witnessed tragic climbing accidents and the sobering fragility of life while pushing extremes, staying open to loss and grief is essential, as going numb leads people to underestimate risks and make poor choices. He notes while the emotional stakes differ, the fear of failure in competitive arenas can subjectively feel as intense as mortal danger depending on one's psyche and neuroses. Honnold believes managing fear and persevering through discomfort are skills climbing specifically hones, yielding some of life's most potent lessons in overcoming self-doubt and developing courage. Though he recognizes the gravity involved in his sport, Honnold feels embracing fear, responsibility and vulnerability allows him to mine the thrill and beauty without losing his humanity.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!

Alex Honnold is history's greatest ever climber in the free solo style, meaning he ascends without a rope or protective equipment of any kind.Above about 50 feet, any fall would likely be lethal, which means that, on epic days of soloing, he might spend 12 or more hours in the Death Zone. On the hardest parts of some climbing routes, his fingers will have no more contact with the rock than most people have with the touchscreens of their phones, while his toes press down on edges as thin as sticks of gum. Just watching a video of Honnold climbing will trigger some degree of vertigo, heart palpitations, or nausea in most people, and that's if they can watch them at all. Even Honnold has said that his palms sweat when he watches himself on film.In this episode, Alex shares the unique mindset he brings to some of the most incredible human feats ever accomplished.

Dierdre grew up in New York City in the 1940s and 50s and helped care for her mother who had polio. Going to high school opened her eyes to new possibilities, and she eventually moved to California after spending time in France and Japan. Dierdre's life took a big turn when she divorced her husband and started focusing on her own goals and dreams.  At 55, she began running, and has gone on to complete multiple marathons. At 59, she began rock climbing, and at 66, she became the oldest woman to climb Yosemite's iconic El Capitan (with her son, Alex Honnold, of “Free Solo” fame).  In 2021, she celebrated her 70th birthday by climbing El Capitan again and camping on the summit.  At the end of 2023, the documentary about her life, “Climbing Into Life,” will be available to watch. Climbing into Life is a feature-length documentary detailing the inspiring life story of Dierdre Wolownick-Honnold, the mother of Free Solo's Alex Honnold.  This is the story of how she went from a completely consumed mother and professor, and ended up on the wall of El Capitan. From an unhappy wife and lonely mother to the status of athlete later in life, Dierdre confronts fear and ageism and gains a wonderful new community in the outdoors.  At age 71 Dierdre pushes back against the societal norms that assume her retirement years will be spent slowing down. *** Don't miss out on new episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast that are released every Tuesday at 7am UK time!

UN BLUEPRINT FOR NATION TAKEOVER IS BEING BETA-TESTED IN HAITI-SAM HONNOLD

(NOTAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/175-el-miedo-lecciones-de-un-hombre-cabra/)A sus 31 años, el 3 de junio de 2017, Alex Honnold cometió una locura. Al menos, lo que para muchos de nosotros sería una locura. Lo que para casi todas las personas de este planeta sería una locura. A las 5 y 32 de la mañana, Alex se plantó a los pies de El Capitán, una montaña de granito con una pared vertical de 914 m de altura que se encuentra en el parque nacional de Yosemite, en California, Estados Unidos. Y decidió escalarla. Hasta ahí nada demasiado extraño, esa pared es uno de los desafíos preferidos para escaladores de todo el mundo, que normalmente tardan unos cuatro días en completar el recorrido, con su habitual coreografía de cuerdas, mosquetones y arneses que al común de los mortales nos suele parecer bastante arriesgada. Bueno, pues aquella mañana, Alex Honnold decidió hacer esa misma ascensión, esos mismos 914 m verticales… sin cuerdas. Él solo, con sus pies de gato y una bolsita de magnesio. Ole. El ascenso lo grabó otro escalador, Jimmy Chin, y les valió a ambos el Óscar al mejor documental en 2019. Las imágenes dan escalofríos. Ver a alguien tan expuesto, enganchado con sus manos a una grieta en la roca a cientos de metros del suelo es sobrecogedor. Pero, 3 horas y 56 minutos después, llegó a la cima. Sonriente, con sus pies de gato y su bolsita de magnesio en la mano. Para entonces, Alex Honnold ya era famoso. Tanto que en Estados Unidos, con esa facilidad que tienen para inventarse verbos, había inspirado uno nuevo: “to honnold”, que sería algo así como la acción de situarse en algún lugar alto y de agarre precario, con tu espalda pegada al muro y mirando al abismo. Mirando, cara a cara, al miedo. Ese verbo nació de una fotografía que le hicieron en el año 2008, también en en el Parque Nacional de Yosemite, de pie en un saliente de apenas 40 cm de profundidad y a unos 550 metros de altura, contemplando la caída que había a sus pies. Como una cabra, en todos los sentidos posibles. Durante décadas la psicología ha estudiado a los «buscadores de sensaciones». Así llaman a aquellas personas que se sienten atraídas por experiencias intensas y que son capaces de asumir riesgos para sentirlas. Se estudian, entre otros motivos, porque con frecuencia se traducen en comportamientos descontrolados, como adicciones al alcohol o al juego. Obviamente, las hazañas de Honnold llamaron la atención de algunos de esos científicos, que vieron en él una oportunidad única para estudiar a un súper buscador de sensaciones. Alguien capaz de alcanzar los límites más extremos del riesgo, pero manteniendo el control en todo momento. Querían saber cómo era el cerebro de alguien que parecía no sentir miedo. Su hipótesis era que su amígdala cerebral, la parte del cerebro encargada de procesar y almacenar nuestras reacciones emocionales, no funcionaba. Y algo de eso sucedía. Tras distintos experimentos, los escáneres cerebrales de Honnold mostraron que su amígdala no se activaba. No encontraron actividad alguna en la región del cerebro responsable del miedo. Nada. Incluso comparado con otros escaladores, su cerebro parece ser diferente. A Alex, todo esto de que su cerebro es distinto le irrita. Dice que ha pasado mucho miedo en sus escaladas. A lo largo de los años, le ha sucedido de todo: se han desprendido las piedras a las que se agarraba, se le han resbalado los pies, se ha perdido en mitad de la montaña o le han sorprendido pájaros y otros animales. Si responde distinto a los demás al miedo, dice, es porque ha pasado décadas entrenándose para dominarlo. Pero… ¿cómo se aprende a dominar el miedo?
