S and I lucked out in finding Free Solo on TV while we were in Colorado. We would have missed it if our original flight hadn't been cancelled, so it was one of the silver linings of the slightly extended vacation.The movie is every bit as astounding as one would expect of a documentary about a rock climber whose dream is to scale a 3000-foot wall with no ropes or other safety equipment. It's an astonishing thing to attempt, a physical and psychological accomplishment, and a triumph of nerves.
It makes my heart race just to think about it.
Bottom line: a stunning film.
