“Imagine an Olympic gold medal-level achievement where if you don’t get that gold medal, you’re going to die,” – free climber Tommy Caldwell. With the latest technology from drones to huge zoom lenses, and our huge screen, you no longer have to imagine. Free Solo takes the audience along on Alex Honnold’s most thrilling quest yet, a free (no ropes) climb up the rock face of Yosemite’s awesome nearly 3000 ft. El Capitan. Equally amazing is Honnold’s desire to risk everything to achieve what has never been done. An incredible visual adventure from Yosemite to trial runs in Zion National Park and the limestone cliffs in Taghia, Morocco.

 “a gripping emotional journey full of mythical resonance. Believe the hype.” Ann Hornaday, Washington Post.
