Just recently free soloed the Taipei 101 building in Tawain and had previously free solo'd El Capitain in Yosemite National Park. Many say himself included that El Cap was harder but they are both equally as crazy and dangerous.
The dude is Fearless. Free solo means no ropes no safety gear other than chalk on the hands. You fall you die.

Alain Robert is another OG free solo climber (The French Spiderman) one of the first he is amazing too and has climbed over 100 hundred Skyscrappers.

Thoughts on free soloing and would you do it?

Alex Honnold is an absolute living legend. He’s amazing.

Would I ever free solo? Sure, if I had stage 4 cancer and was terminal with like a week to live. But if I was that sick I’d probably pass out within minutes of the attempt and the question is whether I fell from a height that would kill me or just injure me.

I get a smile on my face whenevernI see his name. He's really living on the edge!
 
You can't say his feat is unimpressive. Never watched any of his stuff besides the 101 video though. I get the willies just thinking about it, so that's a no for me dawg.
