Live from Chamonix: the most famous climber in the world stops for a keynote speech.

When you’re hot, you’re hot–and Academy Award-winning Free Solo rock climber Alex Honnold continued his huge popularity on the virtual speaking circuit this week with another awe-inspiring conversation direct from Chamonix (the highest summit in The Alps). Using no ropes, no harnesses, and just extreme planning and grit, Alex had free-solo’ed a 2,000 foot peak at Chamonix the day before this speech–and since there’s no way down but for the way you got there–he tagged the top and climbed back down.
