    I could be wrong but I believe this is actually the only moment in Alex Honnald’s career that he had a panic attack.

    I think he, on Rogan or some shit said of this picture he had to take a few deep breaths and he couldn’t shake the feeling of “what the fuck am I doing right now?”

      This is definitely him, but I don’t think that’s the moment. I think this is just a posed photo for effect.

      Also, speaking as a climber, you wouldn’t turn your back to the wall if you were scared, you’d want your hands on the best holds you could find.

        I really recall it being the Thank God Ledge, and this is the Thank God Ledge. I also remember him wearing red, but he seems to do that often.
