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.

Normally I like Jimmy Kimmel's line of question, but it's annoying/slightly entertaining to have the world's best climber answer silly questions about mountain lions. Alex Honnold did get to meet 50 cent which isn't too shabby.

What better way than to send it off an iceberg in your underwear…on an inflatable slice of pizza. Looks pretty cold to me. In his words: "Our second to last day on the boat, headed back to civilization, we came across this perfect iceberg- a big ole mother with a long, perfectly angled slope that led to a 20 foot drop off. Well, I'm here to tell
