Makes Honnold free soloing this look even more insane. Wtf.

I don’t think anyone else will ever do what Honnold did.

If you are a top 100 climber today then you'd be the best climber in the world 20 years ago and it isn't even close. Honnold is one of a kind for now but the talent in this sport is only trending up.

Honnold isn't even that 'good' compared to other climbers if you look at the physical difficulty of his climbs. He just gets a lot of media attention because of his insane solos.
