Free Solo tells the incredible story of Alex Honnold. While his friends and loved ones try to dissuade him, the world’s most accomplished free soloist climber prepares mentally and physically for his most daring adventure to date: scaling the 3200-foot El Capitan in California’s Yosemite National Park without a rope or safety gear.
If he succeeds, it will mark the largest wall that he – or anyone else – has ascended without any equipment.
