I liked the fact that the kid just climbed and basically didn't care a lick about the movie.

"We found out he was halfway across the world climbing the hardest mountain in Peru by himself"

The fact that he lived in a stairwell for years was great.


His reasoning was actually kind of true though. He loved solo for the love of nature, being out by himself and excitement. Had a camera crew been there, he wouldn't be by himself and in his eyes it would ruin the moment. He wasn't against the movie seeing as how he said he'd agree to climb it again for the movie, but he wasn't going to ruin that first solo.

Watched Alpinist tonight. Half way through I knew there's no way this guys still alive. What a nuts way to live/make a living.

Watched this the other night and it is wild. That dude is absolutely nuts. He for sure has something wrong (or right, depending on how you look at it) with his brain. There us no way he is all there. Loved it though. Will be watching it again soon.

I would say out of main four here:

1. Free Solo



2. The Alpinist
2b. The Dawn Wall
4. 14 Peaks
On NatGeo/Disney+, but Torn is legit, too. More of a personal story, but it revolves around the climbing lifestyle.

Meru has been mentioned but I would also recommend Valley Uprising if you're into the climbing....it is a pretty well done documentary on the history of the climbing scene in Yosemite

Saw 14 Peaks late last year. Alpinist and Free Solo tonight.

Alpinist was my favorite followed by 14 Peaks. For some reason, Free Solo was pretty boring until the actual climb, and it felt very fast forwarded.
