If you liked "Free Solo"...

Post by johno »

...you'll like "The Dawn Wall." In a way, a prequel to Free Solo, featuring Tommy Caldwell, one of Alex Honnold's climbing mentors.

It shows the insane dedication & faith of these Big Wall climbers. Beautifully photographed & produced.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Loved that movie, Tommy Caldwell has a great story
"If we are all going to be destroyed by the atomic bomb, let it find us doing sensible and human things—working, listening to music, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep." — CS Lewis

Those were great movies that set me on a climbing movie kick. Valley uprising was interesting and entertaining about camp life in Yosemite during 70s-90s kind of hippie like existence. Also WideBoys is about two guys climbing off width cracks, sounds gay, but a fringe type of climbing I didn’t know about. All told a few hours well spent.
