Crazy that they did that and crazy that people still keep trying it. Definitely not legal but the views were awesome I’m sure.

You will feel like you are right there with Alex as he’s climbing. Jimmy Chin’s filming is breathtaking.

While I don’t understand people who willfully put themselves in dangerous situations, it’s undeniably fascinating.

Mindbendingly intense experience as no doubt it was for all involved. It's as exhilarating as it is intimate. A must watch. 9/10

It is a frustrating look into a superhuman feat of strength and will. Fascinating documentary can at times be unforgiving to its subject.
