Behind-the-Scenes in Climber Alex Honnold’s Van Life

In the spirit of saying it how it is, I’d let Honnold pop my corn any day of the week. Bummer for me, he’s apparently only popping it for himself, and in the comfort of his faraway magical van.

We recently shared an interview wherein Honnold speaks of fame and $0.68 dinners, and now you can see what he’s really going on about. Dude wasn’t telling porkies when he said he enjoyed living simply, or simply living to climb.

One miserable Facebook commenter pooh-poohs Honnold’s whole setup, saying, “He lives in a bougie ass giant van that's basically a trailer that doesn't look like a trailer.” While I’m not certain what the second half of that statement insinuates exactly, I am certain someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Hashtag complexes. Hashtag go home. Hashtag don’t make me call your ma.

What I like most about Honnold’s set up is…his fridge. I don’t have some sort of bizarre infatuation with refrigerators—though I do like to investigate others’; you are what you eat, after all—but Honnolds’s is one I’ve taken a liking to. Scaled for a chipmunk’s tree nook, it seems to fit just an apple, some sort of hummus, and a container of milk. Again with the simple life.

Now excuse me while I go draw up masterplans for my Subaru outback. This fall she and I are going places. Popcorn included.
