Free Solo: Alex Honnold

[Carbon]

Hey guys.

 I thought I'd put this up for any rock climbers or people interested in what is certainly one of the great athletic feats in recent years: Alex Honnold's free solo - no ropes or gear - ascent of the iconic El Capitan, Yosemite's 2,300 meter face, captured in the film Free Solo. Filmed by renowned, elite climbers, many of whom will be familiar to those of you who follow the sport and directed by E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, who previously released Meru, a film documenting an amazing first ascent of the Shark's Fin by Conrad Anker, Renan Ozturk and Jimmy Chin, Free Solo is not only a climbing epic, but a great character study of Honnold, a very unique and gifted climber. If it's in a theater near you, this is a must-see.
