Biography

Alex is climbing’s transcendent breakout star, inspiring millions around the world with his free solo, rope-less style of climbing. He’s the only person ever to free solo Yosemite’s 3,000-foot rock monolith, El Capitan, as documented in the Academy Award–winning film Free Solo. In January 2026, Alex once again redefined human potential, starring in Skyscraper Live, a Netflix Live event in which he free soloed Taipei 101, one of the world's tallest buildings. Beyond his climbing career, Alex is a New York Times bestselling author, co-host of the Climbing Gold and Planet Visionaries podcasts, and founder of the Honnold Foundation, a nonprofit supporting solar energy access in underserved communities.
