Sufferfest 2: Biking 800 Miles, Climbing 45 Towers in 20 Days - Alex Honnold & Cedar Wright
Big wall climbers Alex Honnold and Cedar Wright survived a second edition of their Sufferfest "extreme vacation," which Honnold described as a "fun trip, just physically hard." The pair cycled nearly 800 miles through Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico's Four Corners region, and stopped along the way to climb 45 sandstone towers in 20 days. The journey lived up to its name, as Honnold fell off his bike and a tower wall after his hold broke off in his hand leading to a 50 foot fall, while Wright neglected to properly prepare for the miles in the saddle. Blood, snow, sweat, sketchy rocks and beautiful desert scenery all play at least minor roles in the making of Sufferfest 2.
