Free Solo

A charming documentary about a, yes, real-life free soloist, the eccentric, sweet, naïve, and obsessed Alex Honnold.  (A free soloist is a climber who climbs very tall rocks without safety ropes.) This movie chronicles — with incredible cinematography — Honnold’s quest to free solo El Capitan rock in Yosemite National Park, 3,000 ft. of nail-biting terror, as well as his developing romantic relationship with a sweet and patient lady, and his thoughts on life.  I dare you to not be intrigued.
