i'm comfortable up here i have my

puzzles
it may take a while
this next film has secured the everest
of awards
that's right i'm talking about national
geographic documentary films
free solo and what a film it is
definitely deserving of his academy
award
you have this inspirational story of
alex hunter who wants to free solo climb
el cap
in yosemite it's very intense to see him
do it but it's definitely inspiring to
see him going against the odds
to make this dream of his and this
passion of his come true
yeah what makes this film extra special
for me is seeing all of his loved ones
support his passion and love for free
soloing i mean it's not easy i can't
imagine it being easy
but the fact that he had that kind of
support system yeah was really special
to see
yeah absolutely i mean and then you have
its friend filming it all it's like you
get these wonderful shots of him doing
it so you get to
live through that if you're not one to
climb like myself you can live through
him doing it and it's very very
wonderful and again
inspiring for someone to take on that
goal so you can check that out on disney
plus
and now free solos alex hanon and jimmy
chin are gonna be reviewing some
climbing scenes
from across disney plus roll the clip
i mean so this is actually exactly what
you look for as a climber like a big
crowd striking feature and that is a
nice tower and you see it in a nice
location i'm like oh that that does look
cool to climb
flynn rider is actually soloing
up this tower you know he gets to the
top and you can't you can't
argue with results oh wow look at that
cliff lots of good features looks very
easy to climb
cody here is employing some very
technical climbing skills
this is exactly what we're looking for
for as a climber i'm pretty sure i saw
him do a hand jam in that crack
where you stick your hand in the crack
and you do a jam and you pull off
i agree actually i think the filmmakers
did a good job on this i mean riding
kangaroo
perhaps less realistic than the climbing
so this is a really
proud feature these are the types of
formations that really inspire
climbers and really inspire me moana's
doing great
she's a champion this would be a major
climbing destination if it was real
so this is definitely an unconventional
setting for any kind of rock climbing
i wouldn't normally recommend alpine
climbing
in high heeled boots oh wow and climbing
in mittens is a hard no-no
i would suggest crampons and ice axes
i mean then you can come with mittens
because using ice tools and from where
she is i would walk around
the left and climb that big tongue
feature of snow i think anna would be
a really great alpine climber
if she had the right equipment this is
an unfortunate situation to find
yourself in as a climber i'm curious
what's going to happen when it gets too
wide here
and they can't span anymore because this
is a legitimate full body chimney
technique
i've never seen it done back to back
normally
you have your own back against one wall
and then you're walking your feet up the
other one but this
technique is something that uh alex and
i will probably have to look into
for a really wide chimney i actually did
a move
not dissimilar to this in the climbing
gym yesterday basically i'm pushing as
hard as i can i can barely reach to a
thing i can't quite reach it and it's
like everything's straining and
like that type of opposition stuff where
you're pushing as hard as you can is
definitely a part of climbing
thing about climbing next to a waterfall
is if there's strong wind the waterfall
can just shift
up to hundreds of feet in any direction
so the little spire that she's on
looks like it could just get hammered by
that waterfall she also
seems to be strong enough to catch
herself when she's falling
and clearly unfazed
and most importantly it looks like she's
having a great time
you know in some ways making the film
free solo was very simple because it was
just documenting my normal life it was
just all the things that i wanted to be
doing as a climber
and uh several my best climbing friends
were there documenting the process
but the reality is that any kind of
production is is slightly stressful and
uh i mean basically it's just really
hard climbing and really hard filmmaking
and so obviously
there was challenges involved a lot of
the projects and stories that i like to
tell
revolve around the human spirit and
around
the human potential i think national
geographic's free solo
was really about those things i mean i i
guess if there's one takeaway from free
solo it's
it's that you know ideally you make
clear choices with how you want to live
your life
and and then follow follow those through
you know actually execute on the way you
want to live
you know i think alex really showed
there are no shortcuts and that it takes
just
really really hard work and you can
achieve anything
make sure to check out national
geographic documentary films free solo
and now streaming on disney plus
