Alex Honnold Once Took A 45-Minute Call And Ate Lunch While Scaling a Cliff

Alex Honnold is a renowned rock climber who is known for climbing El Capitan — a rock formation that is about 3,000 feet tall — without any artificial aids for support or rope.

However, he's like anybody else who needs to take phone calls and eat lunch.

Except he may have to do it on the side of a cliff.

While on the Pat McAfee Show, Honnold recounted a time when he was rock climbing on a "rest day" in Yosemite National Park.

While halfway up the formation, Honnold said he got a phone call that he had to take so he found a ledge that he described as the size of a picnic table and took a little break.
