Free Solo - Find the Best Route

Published: Dec. 14, 2021, 11 a.m.

Hey, a true story that's not fiction!

\n

Don and Chuck tackle their first documentary with Free Solo. Alex Honnold likes to climb things. Specifically, he likes to free solo climb\u2014or, climb very steep things with no ropes or aid of any kind. His white whale, a cliff named El Capitan, has never been free soloed.

\n

And he hopes to be the first.

\n

The film documents Alex's attempts to study and practice the climb so he can execute it safely and accurately. It also depicts his personal life, where it intersects with his passion for climbing\u2014and where they conflict.

\n

The film helps Don and Chuck discuss universal life lessons, such as facing your fears, following your passions, and how making a plan can help you reduce danger, subvert fear, and meet your goals.
