Shortlisted for Biography of the Year at the Telegraph Sports Book Awards 2020 Shortlisted for Adventure Travel Book of the Year at the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2020 On June 3rd 2017, professional climber Mark Synnott was in Yosemite to witness something that only a handful of people knew was about to occur: his friend, Alex Honnold, was going to attempt to summit one of the world's most challenging ascents, a route called Freerider on the notorious rock formation El Capitan. It is an extraordinarily dangerous and difficult climb, and yet Alex was going to do it 'free solo'. Meaning no help. No partner. No equipment. No rope. Where a single small mistake would mean certain death. Indeed, to summit El Cap free solo was a feat likened to Neil Armstrong first walking on the moon. As Alex plots, rehearses and ultimately attempts his heart-stopping ascent, Mark also shares his own personal history of climbing, filled with triumphs, defeats and dilemmas, in this deeply reported, inspiring exhortation to live life to the fullest.

Mark Synnott recounts innumerable stories and anecdotes all describing the modern sport of climbing. The focus of this book may be Alex Honnold's incredible climb of El Capitan, but in some ways it is really a fascinating compendium of the last 5 decades of climbing.
Each story is told from such a personal perspective, you feel like you are getting a real window into the sport and the community surrounding it. It is incredible to read about the progression from the 80's and 90's climbing world to how it is now, and is impressive to see what incredible feats have been accomplished in our lifetime!
A fascinating book through and through, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in extreme sports, alternative lifestyles and adventure culture.
