Our buddies, Barking & Mom Spider, took us to see the movie Free Solo on Imax this afternoon. It only has a one week run. What a film!

 

Free Solo, a National Geographic Movie

 

I was particularly interested in how this was filmed. Jimmy Chin and crew did a remarkable job.

 

 

Go see it if you can. :)

Seems to me they did some type of premo on TV about this-could have been on NatGeo come to think about it! yes it was interesting, but I would never do it!!!

Very impressive, but still crazy! You do stuff like that enough and you ARE GOING to die! Even the Wallindas fell.

We are all going to die! Alex (and others who follow their dreams and passions) are choosing to live and make the most of every day!

It is almost unimaginable.  Sometimes just seeing stills from the video gives me the willies.  I guess I'm just a lightweight.
