WINNER: arast
What do we want? Deep-timbred bold free-soloing Americans. When do we want them? This May! That’s right, the BMC is bringing Alex Honnold to tour around the UK for Flying Solo, an event that promises to be as captivating as his virtual onsight and subsequent solo of Gaia. So what’s on the cards?
If you’re wondering who we’re on about, and why we’re boiling over with excitement, Alex Honnold is a Californian rock climber who is famous for making free solo ascents of big walls, breaking speed records, and more recently, demolishing marathon alpine traverses such as the Fitz Traverse which is documented in the movie A Line Across The Sky. That’s why we can’t wait for Alex to get here and for the fun to start.
At the shows, we’ve got rock-star Alex Honnold mixed in with our ambassador team: including Steve McClure, Hazel Findlay, Shauna Coxsey, James McHaffie and Calum Muskett. Each event will be hosted by Niall Grimes, with book signings, Q&A sessions, raffle and spot prizes.
