Date: May 13th, 2021 10:53 PM Author: exhilarant parlor sneaky criminal I watched both the Dawn Wall and Free Solo last week. The Dawn Wall was much better IMO, even though I liked the Alex Honwold dude a lot.
The Dawn Wall had so many epic moments - the terrorist thing where he literally pushed a terrorist off the mountain to save his friends, his friendship with Kevin. Him losing a fucking finger and still become one of the most badass climbers on earth. His waiting around for literally WEEKS for Kevin to get over that segment of wall that he couldn't do. He could have easily gone on but he stayed up for a long time just to help him. It was so cool when Kevin finally got it.
Dawn Wall was awesome, my favorite climbing movie. |

I've never climbed a tree, and thought it was excellent |
|
Date: May 14th, 2021 9:51 AM Author: exhilarant parlor sneaky criminal ive been bouldering at the climbing gym several times a week since december, and really enjoy it, so seeing these utter studs doing their thing on things that are almost impossible for humans is pretty cool.
Plus Tommy Caldwell just seems like a really good dude with an incredibly interesting life. |

Then watch Meru. |

Date: May 14th, 2021 10:11 AM Author: bisexual turquoise community account wagecucks yeah, unfortunately it's not free.
but if you enjoyed Dawn Wall and Free Solo, this film is a must. gives the wacky, fascinating back story. it does include Caldwell and Honnold as the most recent part of the narrative.
