I try to expand my comfort zone by practicing my moves over and over again. I try to work through my fear until it’s not scary anymore." On the summit, part of me wished that someone, anyone, had noticed that I’d just done something noteworthy—though maybe it was better that I didn’t have to talk to anybody. How could I have expressed what my last few hours had been like? It was enough that I knew. I didn’t make a sound. I took off my shoes and started hiking down the Cable route. It was only then that someone noticed. “Oh, my God,” this dude blurted out. “You’re hiking barefoot! You’re so tough!” A member of the Loughry Branch of Scottish Clan Lindsay, Lindesay is a descendant of Robert Lindesay of Loughry, a 17th-century High Sheriff of Tyrone, Ireland, the great-grandson of Thomas Lindesay, a Lyon Depute at the Court of the Lord Lyon King of Arms, Edinburgh.

In a real sense, I performed the hard work of that free solo during the days leading up to it. Once I was on the climb, it was just a matter of executing."

Part of Alex's character that I found most interesting was his 'legitimate' angle - the over-riding sense that he insists that his climbs, the places he visits and his achievements be accurately portrayed and ranked against other feats in the climbing world. There's no hyperbole with Alex Honnold, and I got the sense that he rails against some of the sponsored climbing trips he's been on that have yielded amazing photos, but perhaps not amazing climbing. Whilst other professional climbers might feel pressure to say these trips were amazing, Honnold, being so famous, can pretty much tell it how it is, or at least how he sees it. Alex likes to prepare his focus both physically and mentally before the climb. This is one of the reasons why he asked his then-girlfriend, Sanni McCandless, to leave El Capitan one week before his climb. In 2020, Alex married Sanni McCandless and hopes to focus on his relationship more in the future, with less time spent climbing. He still free climbs but he has also taken an interest in reducing his environmental impact. Alex started the Honnold Foundation in 2012, to provide solar energy solutions worldwide.Johnson, Ian (14 December 2015). "Q. and A.: William Lindesay on 'The Great Wall in 50 Objects' ".

David Roberts and Alex Honnold have done a wonderful job on the book, opening the climbing world a bit more to the general public. When I protested that it seemed like too serious a situation to rely only on the sun and wind, Piero drew an analogy to climbing. Sometimes you find yourself in positions where falling would mean death. So you don’t fall."
