11.20: Alex Honnold in Conversation with Anna Rymill
2024-12-11 07:10:09| Powells Books Events Calendar
At the age of 30, Alex Honnold is probably the most famous adventure athlete in the world. Free soloing, Honnold's specialty, is a type of climbing performed without a rope, a partner, or hardware for aid or protection. The results of climbing this way are breathtaking, but the stakes are ultimate: if you fall, you die. His book, Alone on the Wall (W. W. Norton), takes us around the world and through the highs and lows in the life of a climbing superstar. Honnold will be joined in conversation by Anna Rymill, Portland Rock Gym's marketing manager. This event is sponsored by Portland Rock Gym.

Filled with paternal wisdom, Sky Lantern shows how the miraculous events that followed Mikalatos's discovery of the sky lantern prove that the bond between a parent and their child is everlasting.
