How to Set & Achieve Massive Goals | Alex Honnold

I like to say that anybody that tries climbing should think of it as climbing a really, really steep staircase where it's like you're still walking up the stairs and you're using the handrail for balance, but you're not pulling yourself up the handrail.

And most of climbing is basically a steep staircase.

You know, I mean, especially outdoors and in climbing gyms is a little bit different because the wall is actually vertical.

But outdoors, the wall is almost always a little bit less than vertical.

So it's like basically you're on a very, very steep and technical staircase.

And then you're using the handrail like the handholds to keep you balanced on the wall.

But your legs should always be driving you.

Huberman Lab

No, but just do it after the permits.

You know the cables stay up all year.

So when it's out of season, they take the uprights down, but the cables just sit there, and you can do it any time.

It's actually way better to do it post, like after the season because there's no permitting, there are no people, and it's like super chill.

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

Yeah, just do it off season.

Huberman Lab

But you're strong enough to just glance them off, you know, just like shrug them aside.

Huberman Lab

Possibly.

I did hear a lot.

Or ideally stop them.

Yosemite, I mean, is a crown jewel.

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

I mean, I think it's the best national park in the country.

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

Yeah, I'm not sure.

Huberman Lab

I'm not sure what the hidden dangers are.
