How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

That's awesome.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

Yeah, it's funny seeing the film.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

It's really inspiring.

Huberman Lab

She was the first woman to do that route in a day, free in a day.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

That route's like a harder version of the free rider, the thing that I free soloed in the film Free Solo.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

But yeah, I mean, honestly, I think the film does a good job of not trying to portray it as anything more than it is.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

I mean, it's a very difficult climbing achievement, but it's not

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

It doesn't need – it's not the hardest thing ever done.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

It's not the first time that – but it's very hard.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

And if you watch the film, you see what makes it meaningful is the level of effort that she puts into it.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

It's like it's hard for her.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

She's a great climber, and she puts a lot into it, a lot of herself into it, and eventually – I don't know.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

You know, spoiler, but eventually overcomes and, like, manages to do this thing that's really hard for her.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

And I think that's – which, in a lot of ways, I mean, that's climbing in a nutshell.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

It's, like, none of it really matters because, like, even freestyling El Cap, I mean, you can walk around the back.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

Like, you know, it's, like, why put the years of effort into climbing the face when you can walk around the back?

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

Like, all of climbing is relatively meaningless.

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

And so, ultimately, it's the effort that we put into it that –

Huberman Lab
How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

that has value.

Huberman Lab

And so I think that's what the film Girl Climber does a really good job of.
