Alex apparently doesn't feel fear/anxiety in the way people with normal brains do, e.g. "In 2016, he was subjected to functional magnetic resonance imaging scans that revealed that, unlike other high sensation seekers, his amygdala barely activates when watching disturbing images. He however confesses feeling fear occasionally. Through imagination and practice, he has desensitized himself to most fearful situations." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Honnold https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Honnold https://nautil.us/the-strange-brain-of-the-worlds-greatest-solo-climber-rp-7465/ https://nautil.us/the-strange-brain-of-the-worlds-greatest-s...
