No, it's actually a sign of a great friendship. Alex put his friend into a lot of emotional stress. He was completely fine with what he was doing and also was at peace with the risks, Jimmy however never was, because it wasn't his life which was on the line but his friend's.

@@youtubeconnollyfamily is the movie great i have never seen it

@@robertmustafa8041 The movie Free Solo won an Oscar, 7 Emmy's , the British Oscar (BAFTA), and holds the record for the biggest opening weekend box office for any documentary film in history. A must see film. The final 20 minutes are outrageous and the buildup during the film as it explains all the hard parts of the climb and the panic it creates for everyone around him who all realize it's quite possible he's about to die is fascinating. Additionally, he meets a girl right after they started filming and she is now his wife. The whole thing is amazing. Jaw dropping cinematography of one of the greatest athletic achievements ever.

That's how Ueli Steck died. Dude free-soloed the Nordwand in 3 hours and subsequently normalized that level of risk. It eventually caught up with him, and not even on an epic climb.

@@harveywallbanger3123 Alex has talked about this issue. That no famous free soloists have died doing major cutting edge solos, they die doing what is more casual soloing to them. And so, he has greatly reduced his casual soloing and also has no current plans for another major free solo either. He's repeatedly made history free soloing and I'd love to see him stop and move on to other goals like sport climbing 5.15 (he recently did 5.14d).

I struggle to think of anything on this level.

vtrevlyn39 what a strange way to see Alex Honnold. He's an inspiration and an example of how incredible the human mind is.

True friend! My butt always used to pucker!

I was doing this, tripped and broke my arm in three places.

Name it "Balls of Steel"

Why? Just because he climbed a rock? Not worth it, not an accomplishment. Imagine this, he dropped out of UC Berkley to become a 'rock climber'. Just pure risk. One day gravity will hand him a Darwinian trophy. One day he will receive a stupid trophy. I hope you know how one gets one of those.

@broomsterm, he is not stupid. Generally, stupid trophies are awarded for stupid games. These trophies do not discriminate between stupid or wise. Again, they are awarded for stupid games.

@@danieljones2048 look at you, daniel jones, a nobody on the internet criticizing honnold who's accomplished more greatness in 4 hours then you could in 5 lifetimes. You're in no position to criticize him; if his feats in rock climbing arent enough to warrant him a clothing line, maybe his philanthropy is "honourable" enough for you? Or his activism?

@@g00dGuY34, philanthropy and activism yes, but not rock climbing. It's rock climbing. That's it. Rock climbing. He needs to sit behind a desk in an air conditioned office and look at a computer all day. At that point he will have achieved something in this life. ;) For the record, I would not want to live 5 lifetimes. One is enough, spent behind a computer. Enough said.

He might quit now that he’s engaged to be married she doesn’t like him climbing free solo.

@@tochamp5441 Good, I really hope he listens to her.

You're right. As an athlete (no where near his level of course) its hard to describe it well but the you degrade quickly mentally and physically. You can be called young by just about everyone but while in and around your sport, you start to feel old fast and very soon after that you start to feel ancient. Fortunately for us he accomplished it and didnt it try it too late in his career :D

I think this man needs to climb. I think this man would rather die doing what he loves than die an old geriatric in his 80s, that's my interpretation anyway

We all know he is a legend, and legends die young (like ueli steck)

Budhvin Hewage The film crew knows the risk. If they have a huge problem with it why do it? They obviously chose to watch a guy possibly die. I agree they over analyze their perceived self importance.

Budhvin Hewage I have seen the film. They want to blow their role and some “dilemma” out of proportion in order to add gravitas to what they’re doing. They need to get over themselves.

Hundreds If not thousands of people have free climed El Cap. 1.) Free climbing means climbing up a wall/route without needing any of your protection gear at any time, while beeing safe at any moment in case you fall. He free solod it which is something completely different. 2.) This is certainly not a very "impressive physical feat" for a professionell climber but a mental one. The physical aspects of this ascent are negligible and not what makes this so historic

@Mr_KO r/whooosh

How can someone "protect" other people's lives if these people are risking everything anyways?

Thank you for your response, as is much appreciated. I did not film Alex climbing, but here are my thoughts based upon the Free Solo filmmaker’s comments. In certain instances, the filmmakers felt that they needed to give Alex more space to climb, so that they would not become a distraction and cause their friend Alex to fall. Alex in turn did not want to die in front of his friends. Just imagine climbing a very difficult section of rock next to people with cameras filming close to you, that alone is a distraction, but what if one of them moves suddenly or makes a distracting noise. This was identified by the filmmakers as potentially problematic during the pitch 23 boulder problem crux, which is the hardest part of the climb. The film crew decided to film this section remotely, which proved to be the perfect balance, as it protected the integrity of Alex's experience by giving him the space that he needed to climb without the distractions of a camera crew. In other words, the film crew captured the incredible film footage they needed to produce an award-winning film, while giving Alex both the physical space and the head space he needed to focus on his climbing.

what it also means is that they wanted him to not feel suffocated during what could have been his last climb. he's used to just man and wall; that's what he's willing to die for. they want to be sure he wouldn't think "i wish they weren't here" as he fell, if he did. that was for their own sake as much as his.
