Alex Honnold doesn’t experience fear like the rest of us.  

The free solo climbing legend shot to fame following the first ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite with no ropes.  

His latest project is called The Last Tepui. 

It follows Alex and a world-class climbing team deep into the Amazon jungle on a first-ascent climb up a 1000-foot sheer cliff. 

Along for the ride is biologist Bruce Means who’s on a mission to discover new species in a relatively untouched part of the world.
