Alex Honnold Talks to Jimmy Kimmel about Free Soloing El Capitan

Climbing history was made this June when 31-year-old pro climber Alex Honnold completed the first free solo of Yosemite’s El Capitan, scaling over a half mile of vertical rock without a rope. The completely unbelievable feat set both the outdoor and mainstream world on fire so much so that Alex Honnold went on Jimmy Kimmel to talk about the climb.

Do you like untouched powder? Do you enjoy the occasional bootpack or skin up the empty rideline, but also sometimes wish there was a way to get to the top of the mountain without those annoyances like "walking" and "physical effort?" Have you ever wanted to experience the beauty of our neighbors to the north? If you answered yes to one or all of these questions, then you're in luck: We've teamed up with Canadian Mountain Holidays–the world's oldest and largest heli skiing operator–as well

One of skiing's dirty little secrets is that–at its highest levels–the sport is, well, dirty. Despite being a sport that relies entirely on an increasingly fickle and unpredictable climate–and one in which many of the most prominent athletes are advocates for environmental activism–going out and getting shots can leave a pretty large carbon footprint. Helis, snowmobiles and international flights all have two things in common: They burn a ton of fuel and are used to film damn near every ski
