Today we are talking about the lesser known climbing film. Free Solo was nominated and won the Oscar the following year in 2018 and got all of the attention. We discovered this film on Netflix in 2018 and preferred it to Free Solo. This film follows Tommy Caldwell as he strives to be the first person to free climb The Dawn Wall, the last unclimbed portion of the famous El Capitan of Yosemite.
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- Being kidnapped in Kyrgyzstan
- Loosing the top part of his first finger on his left hand
- The training to get better after his injury
- The differences of Free Solo and The Dawn Wall
- The gripping fear we had just watching this film
- The relationship between Kevin & Tommy
