There are a lot of extreme sports in today’s world.  Free climbing might be the most extreme.  Imagine climbing up a mountain, only without any safety equipment.  One false move and death is imminent.  Not only does that sound like something I would never do, it’s clinically insane.  Alex Honnold doesn’t see it that way.  Honnold is one of the world’s best free climbers and he just had a special on CBS’s 60 Minutes.

I give major props to Honnold.  Not only is he proving that he is one of the bravest people in the world, he’s opening the world’s eyes to a new extreme sport.  I’m not sure if this will ever catch on completely, but you can’t blame Honnold for trying.
