“Sort of an unusual shoot for me—turns out rock is quite rough when you don’t have any clothes on,” Honnold wrote on Instagram in a caption for a photo of him crouching on a climb in his birthday suit.
The renowned climber—whose film “Free Solo” received an Oscar earlier this year—shows off his climbing-toned muscles alongside 20 other athletes featured in ESPN’s 11th annual Body Issue, celebrating all human forms.
