Alex Hon Biography

Alex Hon is one of the most popular and richest Rock Climber who was born on August 17, 1985 in Sacramento, California, United States.

After graduating from Mira Loma High School as part of the International Baccalaureate Programme in 2003, he enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, to study civil engineering. His maternal grandfather died and his parents got divorced during his first year of college, and Honnold skipped many of his classes to boulder by himself at Indian Rock. He described the experience as “heinous. … I didn’t live in a dorm. We had a family friend who let me sublet his two-bedroom apartment in town. In my one year at Berkeley, I never met anybody. I never spoke to anybody.”

In the mind of the climbing world, Honnold emerged from the goo fully formed. In 2006 nobody had heard of him. In 2007 he free soloed Yosemite’s Astroman and the Rostrum in a day, matching Peter Croft’s legendary 1987 feat, and suddenly Honnold was pretty well-known. A year later, he free soloed the 1,200-foot, 5.12d finger crack that splits Zion’s Moonlight Buttress. The ascent was reported on April 1. For days, people thought the news was a joke. Five months afterward, Honnold took the unprecedented step of free soloing the 2,000-foot, glacially bulldozed Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome. Croft called this climb the most impressive ropeless ascent ever done.

Honnold lived in a van for over a decade. “I don’t think ‘van life’ is particularly appealing,” he says. “It’s not like I love living in a car, but I love living in all these places. I love being in Yosemite; I love being basically wherever the weather is good; I love being able to follow good conditions all over. And be relatively comfortable as I do it. And so that pretty much necessitates living in a car … If I could, like, miraculously teleport a house from place to place, I’d prefer to live in a nice comfortable house. Though, honestly, the van is kind of nice. I like having everything within arm’s reach. When I stay in a hotel room – like, sometimes you get put up in a really classy hotel room, and it’s really big, and you have to walk quite a ways to the bathroom, and you’re like, ‘Man, I wish I had my [pee] bottle.’ Who wants to walk all the ways to the bathroom in the middle of the night when you could just lean over and grab your bottle and go?” The van he lives in is custom-outfitted with a kitchenette and cabinets.
