There's a distinct change in rhythm. A different tune. In the video. But obviously and above all that in the life of Alex Honnold who a month ago took the decision to climb the 500 metres of Sendero Luminoso solo. Half a kilometre of smooth vertical granite, following a series of tiny crimps towards the the top and... without a rope.
