That's Freakin' Crazy!



I showed my students the "60 Minutes" video about rock climber Alex Honnold.  And when I say "rock climber," I mean a guy that climbs rocks with nothing but his hands and feet.  No ropes, no harness, no nothin'!

Interesting things:  Honnold practiced climbing 3 hours a day, 6 days a week at a climbing gym in his home state of California.  He lives in a van while stateside, showering every few days.

My students seemed to be more willing to climbs the rockface than to go without showering for three days.  I guess that's a good thing!
