The message came into focus for me via Clipboard. It was a NatGeo article about a “movie” abut a dude that free climbs. It caught my attention. Yesterday we had a date night and went to see this movie. Watch the trailer and I’ll give you more information after.
Alex Hannold free climbs El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Its a National Geographic documentary film that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat at times. We were excited to see the movie itself and then were surprised to have the producer of the film, Jimmy Chin, show up and answer audience questions afterwards.
It’s 1 hour 40 minutes long. At the end it only felt like you were there for 15 minutes. It’s a great story of focus, passion, persistence and perseverance.
I have no fear of heights but still don’t think I would want to climb this mountain. See it? Yes. Climb it. Not really on my bucket list.
I’m glad we went to an actual theater to see the movie. Having Jimmy show up after was good fun. They asked that we help them since most of these movies succeed by “word of mouth” reference. So, go see it for yourself.
