from the mountains

Very shocking. This is my opinion on this documentary, whether it is Alex's physical fitness and skills that surpass human limits or the filming techniques of the production team, it's really amazing. People like me who rarely watch documentaries can't help but want to find out.

A large part of the documentary records what happened between Alex and his girlfriend. I don't think it's superfluous, but I think it's indistinguishable from the influence of his free solo on El Capitan. It can be seen from every detail of the documentary that although sanni has always supported his dream, he still does not understand why he is so persistent and climbing the Emirates Rock from the bottom of his heart. She bought a house with Alex, bought furniture, and moved into a new home. One morning, when Alex was about to make coffee, sanni was very excited and ran over to hug him and said, "Oh, have you started to be a house owner!" At that moment, I seemed to suddenly understand the purpose of these things. I want Alex to feel other good things besides rock climbing, and make life more hopeful. But "climbers, especially free soloists, need hard armor in their hearts, and love will take off the armor and make people soft." But Alex has a firm "samurai spirit". It can be said that it is a kind of belief, and his achievements are his Target. It was a battle between talent, belief and nature, and the result was a clear victory.

In fact, when I saw this documentary, only two words came to mind: man and nature. Is it really impossible for man to conquer nature, but I saw the red dot slowly sway from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Humans really can't conquer nature, but I have seen earthquakes, tsunamis, sandstorms. My palms are sweaty and my heart is racing.

  • Alex Honnold: The big challenge is controlling your mind, I guess. Because you're not, you're not controlling your fear, you're sort of just trying to step outside of it.

  • Alex Honnold: I try to expand my comfort zone by practicing the moves over and over again. I work through the fear, until it's just not scary anymore.
