Apparently free climber Alex Honnold has a new sponsor in the form of BALL Watches. The video below is a commercial for the company but mostly features Alex climbing on Moonlight Buttress iN Zion National Park and Half Dome in Yosemite of course. It's more amazing footage of Alex doing what he does best, namely climbing big walls with the use of rope.

Some of the shots are down right scary. I'm not sure how his mom lets him get away with this stuff.

It has been awhile since we've had a really good timelapse video to grab our attention. This one arrives just in time, giving us a glimpse of the American southwest with some light snow to provide a nice contrast to the normal landscapes. This is the first timelapse effort from from filmmaker Zhuokang Jia and was shot in Arches, Canyonlands and Zion National Parks, amongst numuerous other spectacular places.

Simply beautiful!
