New Vid featuring Alex Honnold and Squamish

[squamish climber]

Alex Honnold has some great things to say about Squamish and the climbing in Squamish in a new video.

Here's the intro blurb:

Black Diamond athlete Alex Honnold lives in his van. Sometimes down by the river, sometimes not. Last summer he and his van spent a considerable amount of time enjoying the granite sweetness of Squamish, British Columbia. Below is a video that Alex's fellow BD athlete Cedar Wright put together, which does an excellent job of developing Alex's dry, self-deprecating humor and his philosophies on climbing, life, and caloric intake.

Don't miss the sequence of him climbing Lake of Fire 5.13c R. Alex in his typical laid-back demeanor quips it's very difficult to deck on the route. Sonnie Trotter inserts a little reality and says yeah you could definitely hurt yourself.

An interesting take away line:

Squamish is an amazing destination. And it seems like the town encourages climbing. They actually make an effort to support people coming here to rock climb.
