That commercial sure is lame. Get this certain credit card and you can go rock climbing!!! lame.
However, I do think it's cool he'll get lots of climbing days out of doing that commercial and maybe upgrade to a Sprinter, good for him.

Way to cave to crass materialism, Hollywood Honnold! Soon he'll be using that synthetic motor oil, getting the ramen with real bits of dehydrated meat, and having regular dental appointments.


OCCUPY HONNOLD'S VAN!!

Everyone uses one credit card or another right? Whether we like it or not "the man" pretty much forces us to do so right? Difficult to do everything with just cash these days.

So, if it wasn't Citibank it would have been another card.

Might as well make a buck for doing what you are known to do, ie climbing.

Good for them. Hope they made a good $$$ deal and that they spend it wisely.

No one would know that the guy in the commercial is perhaps the world's most famous soloist ever (at least at this time), except for climbers. I hope Alex's time lasts a full life time. I'm inspired but I could never do what he does.

GOD keep you safe Alex.

Not since Tobin Sorenson has a US climber caused such a stir.

I am at a loss to grasp what stir Tobin caused.

ATTENTION *OCCUPY* PROTESTORS!!

If you want the banks' money, this is how you get it. Put your unique talent to work for the big bank doing something they're willing to pay for. EARN some of their money and it won't be theirs anymore, it'll be yours.

This exact same strategy works all throughout our society.

This commercial is the biggest troll ever. Katie Brown doesn't have a harness or gear to climb Ancient Art. And Honnold is doing this climb roped. LULZ

ROFL!!!!

Honnold takes a few bucks for an afternoon shooting on a desert spire while MTucker tries to rip off climbers with his over-priced used climbing gear. Who's the villain here?
