The ascent of Alex Honnold

A CBS News (60 Minutes) profile of free solo climber Alex Honnold, who scales sheer rock faces without ropes. Lara Logan reports on his climbing and his apparent lack of fear, including his Half Dome ascent.

HN commenters point to it as a nerve-wracking look at Honnold's free soloing, often when climbing, risk or van life comes up.
