Question

In what ways is Alex Honnold like the fictional character David?

Answer 1

Answer:

His personality matches his ascetic lifestyle; Honnold doesn't talk much and is prone to bluntness when he does speak. But though he might appear monklike, Honnold is quite the opposite. Alex has a gentle reminder: You are not in any actual danger. In an interview, Alex puts it literally. He says when you're walking down the road, you aren't afraid of being hit by a bus as you know you aren't going to fall off of the pavement. With climbing, as he's learned more moves, he feels less likely to fall off.
