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

*Free Solo* is a National Geographic documentary film about the top professional rock climber Alex Honnold and his attempt at climbing El Capitan, a granite wall over 900 m tall in Yosemite National Park, California, without ropes or any other safety gear whatsoever other than his climbing shoes and his climbing chalk bag. That type of climbing is called free soloing. Honnold has said he spent a whole year practicing climbing El Capitan full time with ropes and received a lot of help from his climber friends. *Free Solo* is a close portrait of Alex Honnold that features the man himself and his friends and loved ones. Honnold is an unusual individual. When he gets a brain scan in an MRI machine, it is shown that his amygdala (responsible for fear) shows markedly reduced activity compared to normal subjects. Honnold is a man who loves taking on seemingly impossible challenges and solving hugely difficult problems with life and death at stake. His approach is extremely methodical. Honnold says he wants to be a great climber instead of a lucky one. Still, what he does is extremely dangerous and amounts to one of the greatest athletic feats in history with two possible outcomes: an olympic gold or death. Here's a trailer of the documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urRVZ4SW7WU

I already touched this on an earlier post, but if you missed it, I'll explain it briefly: Recently I found clips of this guy called Alex Honnold in Youtube about his incredible performance: free soloing

Running the 4-minute mile, winning the world cup, sailing around the world. All of these amount to some of the greatest sporting achievements of all time, but do they even come close to the sheer feat

This past week my husband and I have been talking about what direction we'll be taking in what we've dubbed 'Phase Three' of our lives, and ever since our first conversation the universe has been jumping

Free Solo is a documentary that examines the insane sport of rock climbing without a rope. I'm not sure what drives someone to take unnecessary risks. It seems rock climbing with proper gear is dangerous

So, the cat got obsessed on a freesolo climbing video of Will Stanhope (on Zombie Roof). Thankfully his freesoloing fantasy finally reconciled after multiple repeat watches...! Zombie Roof, rated 5.12d
