Black Diamond athlete Alex Honnold lives in his van. Sometimes down by the river, sometimes not. Last summer 2010 he and his van spent a considerable amount of time enjoying the granite sweetness of Squamish, British Columbia.

Lacking a second ascent since the late-great Jose Pereyra's FA back in 1998, No Way Jose had gained a hefty rep with a grade rumored to be in the 5.13+ range. Honnold, as he often does, coolly dispatched the route…
This is the fourth and final video in a four-part series about Sonnie Trotter and Alex Honnold making the first one-day ascent of Logical Progression, a 28-pitch 5.13a route on El Gigante in Mexico's Basaseachi National Park.
Trotter wrote the following about this final video: "This last clip is hilarious. After 10 hours of driving back to the border, and three hours waiting to cross, the best (WORST) part of our trip came right at the end, when…

Black Diamond athlete Alex Honnold takes down a host of deep-water soloing testpieces in Mallorca as well as lets his wit and personality shine through in this clip produced by fellow BD athlete Cedar Wright.
Black Diamond athlete Alex Honnold was filmed making an ascent of the knob-peppered Clash of the Titans (5.13a) in Tuolumne Meadows, California by Kevin Jaramillo (as part of Jaramillo's current film project). This is a high quality clip that provides some great insight into Honnold's life philosphy, as well as shows how cryptic 5.13 knob pimping is.
