Alex Honnold

Met him once for a brief 5 minutes in Vancouver. He has this weird calm presence about him, but he oozes this confidence that nothing can stop him.
I asked him what almost everyone else asks him, "what are you thinking when you're climbing up so high?" He said, nothing except what my next landing will be and if I paid my bills for that day. He laughed when he said it, but I think he was trying to get across that he really just does what anyone else does when they're doing their job.

Such a cool dude.

Yes. There was a bit about him on 60 minutes where he was climbing something with an impossible overhang and water was trickling down the face of the cliff he was on. He was drying his sneaker by bending his leg and rubbing sole of his shoe against his other leg, and whistling to himself in a relaxed offhand way.
He is the GOAT.

I think I remember that scene, going to have to find it and look at it again. It's amazing what he does at those heights and how relaxed, it's just not normal. lol
GOAT is right.
