Last year millions of viewers were awed by Free Solo, the feature film that documented Alex Honnold’s historic solo ascent of El Capitan. We were stupefied by the level of free climbing ability and mental strength required to even conceive of this feat, much less achieve it. We also were captivated by the debate that ensued. Many commentators viewed Alex’s climb as a moral failing, and many harangued the system that would allow such an ascent and the society that would laud it.
