About this movie

A stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of free solo climber Alex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream:scaling the face of the world’s most famous rock — the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park — without a rope. Renowned filmmakers E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin capture the death-defying climb with exquisite artistry and masterful, vertigo-inducing camerawork.

As it has been said, Alex free soloing El Cap is most likely the greatest athletic achievement of any kind ever. The fact the Jimmy Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi are the ones who documented the whole thing makes this the best documentary I have ever seen. Climber or not, there is no denying you will be on the edge of your seat!

Incredible film, very inspiring. Just found Alex, well not terribly likeable. Beautifully shot and all most to good of a ending.

Absolutely gut wrenching but phenomenal feat. Hopefully no more of these in his future for everyone's sake but wow. Not for the faint of heart!
