Arctic Ascent with Alex Honnold | Official Trailer | National Geographic

what is he holding on to on another L yeah W it's like watching a movie huh yeah pretty much after Alex freid all cap he seemed lost now he's found other ways to keep contributing to the world a wall that has never been climbed a place where climate research has been barely been done that lights Alex up look at the walls over there now I'm starting to get very excited this wall it's about 1,000 ft higher than Al cap oh my God this is like the craziest wall the first picture I saw of ing mccort laac it looks like the scariest wall I've ever seen we have no idea what the Rock will be like so we've asked two of the best climbers in the world to join me and we have the right team in place to do meaningful research as we go climbing no one has been here for almost two decades because it's really one of the most dangerous environments on Earth ice ice ice if we manage to climb in mordac rock rock rock rock it'll be the biggest first asem we've ever done we just don't know what we'll face up there oh my God it's so scary I was definitely hoping that like conditions were going to improve and they have definitely not improved I'm more risk adverse than you so I just want to make sure we're on the same page basically ultimately what's at stake with climbing it's always your life and you can only roll the dice like that so many times
