Event information

If you’ve ever wondered how differently you’d react to watching an unprotected 3000ft vertical rock climb – without ropes or safety net – as opposed to, say, Tom Cruise or Sylvester Stallone pulling off the same stunt when you know every safety device is right there just out of shot, then welcome to a documentary that shows just how terrifying the real thing actually is. In 2017, amazing free climber Alex Honnold took on the El Capitan rock face in Yosemite where a single slip would have been terminal. Preparations were exhaustive, and trial attempts with ropes – which did save him when he slipped – preceded this toe-curling, unique, death-or-glory assault. Mesmerising!
