Do you like climbing — whether a tree, a giant boulder or an indoor climbing wall? Why or why not?
Have you ever climbed something really tall? What would be too high for you?
How about a 1,667-foot-tall skyscraper — without a rope?
Well, that’s what Alex Honnold, a rock climber and free soloist, did on Jan. 25.
What’s your reaction to his feat? Are you impressed — or even inspired? Or, do you think the stunt was terrifying, reckless and dangerous?
What questions would you want to ask Mr. Honnold if you could?
How much of a daredevil are you? What kinds of physical risks are you willing to take? What’s the bravest or most dangerous thing you’ve ever done?
