Alex Honnold Free Solos in Yosemite

After having climbed a couple of 8c's at The Jailhouse outside San Francisco, Alex Honnold made a couple of mind blowing free solos.

On the morning of June 13, 2011, in eight minutes he made the first free solo ascent of the legendary crack The Phoenix, first climbed by Ray Jardine (photos from its second ascent here).

Peter Mortimer was filming Alex:

" its scary as shit and its hard to hold the camera steady.

Filming climbing is fun; filming free soloing is fucking scary and intense.

Filming a free solo of the Phoenix at peak runoff is mind boggling."

Then, Alex free soloed the fifteen pitch Chouinard-Herbert (5.11c) on Yosemite's Sentinel Rock.

27crags, climbervoice, 8a and many others are amazing sites, but sometimes, expecially if you worked a lot to envision, bolt, clean routes or boulders, you want to monetize a little your efforts.

9b can help you in this aim.

As you can see here, in 9b there are many " topo groups ".

You can add a discussion in every "topo group".

In your discussion you can edit and publish your own climbing topoguide, as a "paywall", a "destination page", requiring climbers their payment by credit card or paypal to access and read, even on SMARTPHONES (iphones, android phones, ...)
