Alex Honnold retires

No, I did not say it, HE said it

Happy Friday

They are paying him to say whatever he says in here, I didn't watch it because it's an ad.

It's the definition of click bait. 

Sad.

Dr. Squatch is such a cringe company. Bummer to see.

Why so? Sorry to ask, I don't keep up on the Dr.s' shenanigans. Does this have something to do with that whole sex-slave tabloid article?

This is what happens when rock climbers are clean-shaven. See also, Bachar's Gillette commercial.

Kinda of like a rock band's farewell tour that lasts a decade.

2/10

Is pimpin the Squatch the new jumping the shark?

He retired from soloing a while ago, but he still scrambles a lot. Just some casual laps up some 11s between trail running/biking.

Yeah, with the baby in a backpack!

That's it, I'm killing myself. 

It could be worse he could be promoting AG1 like every other climbing related video made in the past year

Too late, or that was your point. :-)

The cringiest ones have the most money. Honnold sold out for a bag a long time ago. He’s just collecting paychecks for his family at this point don’t hate the player

You guys sound like you are fun at parties. 

I thought this was hilarious, and it looks like if you catch him out in the wild right now you can scream "THUMB WAR" and he will fight you for a year supply of free soap. 

I love it when people shit on others cashing in. C'mon. Dude's trying to make the money...he's the GOAT. He deserves more than he gets paid. And....like you wouldn't take any money these companies threw at you if you were in his situation. It's jealousy, pure and simple.

Honnold is far from the GOAT unless the reference is solely to free solo-ing

You guys are so quick to hate on the most likeable dude in climbing. WTF is wrong with you all? Just STFU already and let the man cash in...

Basically this thread...

Do you mean most recognizable? I certainly wouldn’t peg him as the most likeable. My interactions with him have been far from pleasant. Subjectively, Tommy is way more likeable and fun.
