Rock star: After 'Free Solo,' climber unsure of next journey

Professional rock climber Alex Honnold blows on his chalked hands at the Earth Treks gym in Englewood, Colorado. His fear is that maybe his 2017 ropeless climb of El Capitan in Yosemite featured in the spine-tingling, Academy Award-winning film 'Free Solo,' just might be the summit of his career. If that's the case, he's made peace with it. These days, he's just as content taking a safer route in indoor climbing gyms. (AP Photo/Thomas Peipert)
