Alex Honnold Vs. Ibex

in #rockclimbing4 years ago

This is an ibex climbing a dam to reach salty spots to lick.

Here are the climbing scenes from the film Free Solo (2018) depicting the rock climber Alex Honnold's free solo (no ropes or other equipment except for chalk) of El Capitan, a 3000 feet rock wall in the Yosemite national park, California.

The actual documentary Free Solo is the most blood curdling sports documentary I've ever seen. Alex Honnold is still the only rock climber in the world to have free soloed El Capitan.

You can pay to watch the entire documentary on YouTube.

Dammit, clickbait is strong in this one. I was looking forward to that head-to-head face-off.

But aren't they both worth watching anyway. :D

Of course! I've watched Free Solo a good few times now (and The Dawn Wall), and I've seen the Ibex do its thing a bunch also. I just wanna see them both in a Gladiator-style faceoff lol.

I can understand the appeal. But rock climbing can never be a race, particularly free soloing.
