Alex Honnold recounts that though he has witnessed tragic climbing accidents and the sobering fragility of life while pushing extremes, staying open to loss and grief is essential, as going numb leads people to underestimate risks and make poor choices. He notes while the emotional stakes differ, the fear of failure in competitive arenas can subjectively feel as intense as mortal danger depending on one's psyche and neuroses. Honnold believes managing fear and persevering through discomfort are skills climbing specifically hones, yielding some of life's most potent lessons in overcoming self-doubt and developing courage. Though he recognizes the gravity involved in his sport, Honnold feels embracing fear, responsibility and vulnerability allows him to mine the thrill and beauty without losing his humanity.
