    Fun fact, Alex said in an interview that this is a picture of him having a panic attack. Just shaking and desperately trying to keep calm as adrenaline pours through his system.

      Didn’t know that he was able to have panic attacks at all. Something to do with his amygdala or something. Good to know that he’s only human, I was deeply moved after watching him in Free Solo.

      Is it this picture or this ledge? I believe his half dome assent was scary because he wasn’t fully prepared. However this specific picture was taken afterwards.
