How much would he make using ropes. I’m sure it’d be pretty damn close. Slightly more money means how much with ropes - how much without being fairly small. It’s not saying he’s not making a lot in general. That’d be stupid.

Alex Honnold (born August 17, 1985) is an American rock climber best known for his free solo ascents of big walls.

It’d remove some of the fear, but the climbs would be more challenging.
