Summary
Alex Honnold said he has given away about one-third of his income since 2012, arguing that people are often too cautious about charitable giving.
The “Free Solo” climber traced that habit to his first big paycheck at age 27, when living in a van in Yosemite made him feel he already had more than enough.
Honnold said the van felt luxurious compared with friends living in tents, reinforcing his view that spare money should be directed outward rather than held back.
