That tidy crack is like one of those blatantly designed ledge grabs from Tomb Raider.

Free Solo is the sweatiest palm documentary I've ever watched.

It is really a testament to Honnold's skill and discipline that he's still alive and climbing after this much time. Eventually, one of three things will happen:

* He'll retire entirely from climbing

* He'll "retire" from free climbing and continue climbing with ropes and gear, which will mean a huge shift in his professional and personal life but which you can do pretty continually through aging, or

* He'll fall and die
