The Impossible Climb (Young Readers Adaptation) Alex Honnold El Capitan And A Climber's Life

Description: A middle grade adaptation of the adult bestseller that chronicles what The New York Times deemed "one of the great athletic feats of any kind ever": Alex Honnold's free - solo ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. On June 3, 2017, as seen in the Oscar - winning documentary Free Solo Alex Honnold achieved what most had written off as unattainable: a 3,000 - foot vertical climb of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without a rope or harness. At the time only a few knew what he was attempting to do but after topping out at 9:28 am having spent just under four hours on this historic feat author Mark Synnott broke the story for National Geographic and the world watched in awe. Now adapted for a younger audience The Impossible Climb tells the gripping story of how a quiet kid from Sacramento California grew up to capture the attention of the entire globe by redefining the limits of human potential through hard work discipline and a deep respect for the natural world.
