Alone on the Wall is a 2015 memoir by Alex Honnold and David Roberts, covering Honnold's rise to fame as a rock climber, particularly his free solo climbs of big walls, and his environmental activism. In 2018, an extended edition was published, with additional chapters written by Honnold about his June 2017 free solo climb of El Capitan, which was called "the greatest feat of pure rock climbing in the history of the sport" by National Geographic. The book was praised by reviewers for its descriptions of climbing and dual-voice structure.
