    Finally watched Free Solo on a flight yesterday.

    Very engaging. Watch it when you get a chance.

    If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

      Thanks for the recommendation.

      That picture tells me all I need to know to get the experience.

        Very much enjoyed that one. Side note, the director of that movie is somehow one of the more luminescent beautiful humans I've ever seen. I mean the female one. It was directed by a husband and wife team.

        Education is extremely important.

          I keep meaning to watch this. I'm sure I'll have sweaty palms the whole time, but I guess it's a tad easier knowing the climber is still alive. It's funny, maybe weird... I sometimes think of people who climb in Yosemite, or even Mt Everest and I think of the dangers involved... but I often forget the literal climbing (up, up, up) and how just tiring that must be regardless of any other risk.

            @89th

            Most of the movie is the run up. The actual climb is probably only the last 15m.

            You’ll really like it.

              His wife is a cutie, too. So that helps.

                I think the last place I’d want to watch that is on a plane.
