KIMARO IN NEW VERSION
 The ascent of Alex Honnold 
 ALEX HONNOLD THE MOUNTAIN CLIMBER

Watching Alex move spider-like up a sheer mountain face - with only his fingertips and toes keeping him from falling a thousand feet or more -- is terrifying, even for some of our bravest reporters: 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan and producer Jeff Newton.
Lara and Jeff have been reporting from inside the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for a decade, yet they were still awestruck and at times terrified as they watched the 26-year-old Honnold scale "Sentinel" in Yosemite National Park, a climb captured on tape for their "60 Minutes" segment this week: "Alone on the Wall." It might be in Tanznia we have people like Alex but they lack support and promotions.
