Processing your request, Please wait....Twenty-three year old Alex Honnold is taking the high-stakes sport of free solo climbing to new heights.
Climbing truly massive walls without a rope, and zero chance of survival if he falls, Alex is calm and fearless (except when it comes to girls). But attempting the 2,000-foot wall of Half Dome, the greatest free solo ever attempted, would finally teach Alex the meaning of fear.
Released in 2010. 24 min. Directors: Peter Mortimer, Nick Rosen. Part of the First Ascent series.
This is a trailer.
Holy shit. Only watching this docu was so thrilling.
Great video of an awesome sport. I think there is really no other sport or athletic challange that can be compared to what you see here.
You have to be 100% physically fit (also in necessary in other extrem sports) but staying mentaly focussed for more that 2 hours where every little wrong grap will kill you…. that’s absolutly AWESOME.
Fantastic accomplishment and great video. I see Alex’s effort to control the mind and think how useful this would be in every aspect of normal life. Great, Scary and Inspirational!
I had sweaty palms and feet throughout the documentary.
Holy smokes…I suffer terribly from fear of heights and this was probably one of the hardest vids to watch…ever…An adrenaline rush…sitting here in my living room…Great vid!
Excellent…thanks! :-)
Bummer…vid has been taken down :-(
Hi Madsen, good to hear from you.

Without a doubt the greatest athlete in the world, rock on Alex!
How does he get down?
Wow! that’s crazy!!!
Thrilling to watch!. With all the sponsors behind this sport and this star performer; when will Alex Honnold be driving a motor home?
Like, whats up with that!.
