Alex Honnold酋長岩徒手攀岩紀錄 & 攀岩者人生 (青少年版) The Impossible Climb (Young Readers Adaptation): Alex Honnold, El Capitan, and a Climber’s Life

　　改編自成人暢銷書《The Impossible Climb》，講述了《紐約時報》所稱「有史以來最偉大的體育壯舉之一」：艾力克斯・霍諾德（Alex Honnold）徒手攀登優勝美地國家公園酋長岩的始末，以及他攀岩的心路歷程。

　　2017年6月3日，正如奧斯卡獲獎紀錄片《徒手攀岩》（Free Solo）鏡頭下展示，艾力克斯・霍諾德完成了大多數人認為不可能完成的任務：徒手攀登優勝美地國家公園酋長岩3000英尺（約914公尺）的垂直高度。他在當天花了不到四個小時，就完成了這項歷史壯舉，於上午9點28分登頂。作家Mark Synnott 在《國家地理》雜誌上報導此事，全世界都為之驚嘆。如今，這部改編自同名著作的《The Impossible Climb》的青少年版本，向10歲以上各年齡層讀者敘說這個故事，講述了這位加州內向男孩，如何憑藉勤奮、自律和對自然世界的深深敬畏，成長為一名重新定義人類潛能極限、吸引全世界目光的傳奇人物。
