Free Solo premiere on NatGeo

Autism

What's the most hazardous /out/ experience you've ever had?

I was on the Appalachian Trail for 16 days during the polar vortex in January by myself, it got below zero a few nights and lost the trail a few times in whiteout blizzards and 2 feet of snow

This shit was overrated. The part where he climbs rocks was great but they can fucking miss me with his autistic ramblings and all that life story shit I did not care about.

explain how you went about shelters

this movie fucking sucked. its like 15 minutes of actual climbing and 90 minutes of a sociopathtic autist and his controlling gf

Should I watch this on theaters if I get the chance or nah?

Im not gay but Alex is adorable

based and survivalist pilled

I think you only truly get how fucking insane and amazing Honnold's climb is when you see it in the context of other Yosemite docs like The Dawn Wall or Valley Uprising.

I stayed in shelters on most nights, however they were almost always three-walled sheds that would often face into the storm. One day I had to bail out and get shuttled because my sleeping gear got too damp due to condensation the night before, and that night was supposed to be -13 F. I had a 1 person UL tent that was used sparingly, clearing footprints in that snow, especially in Grayson Highlands, would be too much of a burden. A few nights I stayed in hostels because I had run out of food, and was too tired/it was too late to go on a food restocking run

Dude is an alpha. watch the doc and how he commands his gf. I bet she is a total sub slut.

he states that he would ditch any girl if he had to decide between that and a girl.

There's a really cool history of rock climbing in Yosemite called Valley Uprising. It acts as a good complementary piece to this movie as it builds up to Alex's free solo in a sense. I watched them both in one night and it was pretty fun

endurance backpacking isn't survivalist at all my man. It's challenging sure but at no time are you building fires, hunting or building your own shelters.

>his gf claims she decided to go to his book signing on a whim, not even knowing who he was
>her friend dared her to give him her number
>she doesn't even rock climb
why would you go to some random persons book signing if you don't know who they even are?

Oh in my head I figured your story as you being stuck in the wilderness during a terrible storm by yourself with only whatever provisions/equipment you'd brought with you. Didn't realise it was with accommodation stops

Daily reminder that he encounters a furry on his ascent. I’m not joking.

i would highly recommend. The shots looking down from the top of the mountain on a large screen is extremely thrilling and made my palms sweat

I have a hard time understanding how free soloing El Cap was even possible

the dynamic between the two is really frustrating to watch. why cant women let autistic men follow their dreams

i hope this motivates other young people to die sooner.

Part of that was true- I was pretty much one of maybe 3-4 people on the Appalachian Trail in the TN/NC mountains in January, so I was completely by myself 90% of the time. I didn't have a GPS beacon device, if I rolled an ankle or broke a leg (which would have been extremely easy to do, there were several segments of thick ice covered by fresh snow where I busted my ass) I'd have been pretty fucked miles from the nearest road

yeah she basically got with him because of his drive and his dream, then immediately tries to make him give it up for her.
I'm betting this was his last free solo climb. She's going to nag him into stopping.

This dude is a total autist and completely blowing off his qt 3.14 wife to fucking climb a rock for no reason and die

>things women will never understand

That's what friends do, you fucking friendless incel.

"Hey Sanni, I'm going to see this guy talk that I've heard about. We could go drink wine afterwards at my place. Wanna go?"

A FUCKING UNICORN FURFAG

How the fuck is he doing this? This is making me uncomfortable.

I got the impresson that only a few sections posed a real challenge to him. The rest was probably a routine climb even though it looked insane to us.

Holy shit

fell off 2nd floor escalators and nearly broke my neck lol

I honestly wish they spent more time with the climb it was only the last 20 min or so, they really could've pushed it

The mad man is smiling

What a fucking chad

There really isn't anything else to climb though.
El Cap is the crown jewel.

just saw that lol

He gets an MRI in the film and the neurologist shows him his amygdala is different to a normal persons.

it's not about him free soloing el cap, or even anything bigger or more dangerous. The movie showed the dude just liked free soloing stuff. She's going to cry and bitch EVERY time he goes to free solo anything, even piddly shit he considers not worthy of even calling a risk. You can see from the end of the movie when she comes in crying and saying 'I'm so glad you did it, and now you're done'. She means done free soloing entirely, not just shit like El Cap.

I wonder if he's so autismo he doesn't even notice it.

There may be a point to this but I think the dude is smart and I did a deepdive into YouTube after watching Free Solo and he even admits free soloing isn't something he does very often. Granted, he only needs to slip once but yeah, we'll see I guess. He's only in his thirties.

I didn't look at anything on Youtube, but I saw him free solo I think 3 things during that documentary other than El Cap during the prep period for the main climb. He did the waterfall and that shit looked sketchy as fuck to me, but it was clearly just something he was fucking around doing on a weekend.
That bitch however wants the house and the white picket fence and the 2.3 children. While he was totally happy living in a van.

jeebus saw this movie a week ago and just entering this thread and reading the comments got my palms like mom's spaghetti

>That bitch
wew

i just watched this, fuck that bitch of a "gf" she has, watching her measure tape their prison cell of a home was worse than watching him climb the actual mountain

>used to work on elevators, we didn't tie down, be 30 stories up hanging over the side of an elevator car, 'dont slip bro"
>also worked in the oil fields in North Dakota near the Canadian border, -30 outside and we're walking around trying not to freeze to death near iron with 10,000lbs of pressure on the lines

Fun stuff.

that was truly painful. And then her flipping out on him for not helping was worse.
HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE SAME SHIT YOU CARE ABOUT YOU STUPID CUNT

nigga just wants to climb stuff. He doesn't need an ikea bed to be happy.

I hate this guy. Since Oscars this shit is everywhere on my youtube and I even don't watch single thing with him

any more stories about the latter? Sounds quite awful but exhilarating

>emotionally castrated autist
>energy leech ikea gf

Watching them together was worse than the actual climb

So basically he's rock climbing goku and his bitch is chi chi.

#1 red flag with the gf: SHE FUCKING DROPPED HIM

that should've been the end right there. he doesn't need another human dragging him down with emotions n shit. she must give him amazing top or somethin

She’s obviously after the money. He mentioned in the doc that he’s pretty wealthy and she is the one who “accidentally” let him fall while climbing and then spends the rest of the movie trying to get him to settle down and buy a house with her

This dude is a total autist and blowing off his roastie gf who has never done anything interesting in her life and almost got him killed while doing a simple climb just so he can set records and be a world renowned climber who will go down in history as perhaps the best who ever lived

Literally how you sound

Do you know anything about fracking? I would work 12 hour shifts and we would force thousands upon thousands of pounds of water, sand, acid and chemicals which were classified to us into the earth a couple of miles down, then a few miles horizontally into a shell basin to break up deposits of gas and oil. Our sites were very loose with safety and it was all about speed as getting the frac done under schedule provided a big bonus for the company.

A couple of times the lines would burst and water, sand, acid would fly like 200ft into the air, if you were near the line section when that happened the force of the pressure could suck the air out your lungs and blow you back, or blow you, rip limbs off, ect. Also the pump trucks would tend to catch on fire every now and then.

Yeah holy fuck I would be out after that

>So basically he's rock climbing goku and his bitch is chi chi.
lol yeah basically

Why do girls tend to care about stupid domestic stuff that doesn’t matter? I’m on my third gf in a row now who takes up her entire day just buying stupid unnecessary shit for our apartment and browsing expensive new furniture when we have a perfectly good set already.

Like, seriously. That’s all she does.

Thought it was a cool doc. Basically Whiplash but real and about rock climbing.

I predict this guy will wake up in 10 years, look around and wonder what in the fuck happened to his life. He'll be like, 'oh this weekend i have to go to briana's wedding, and then i have to go to nicks sons bar mitzvah, then I have to take the kids to soccer, and I need to get the minivan detailed' and not really have any understanding of how he got from point A in his life to point B.

thanks for the headsup rockbro

But who's rock climbing vegeta

Alex Honnold is cool but check out Adam Ondra. The climbing he does is less risky but a lot more difficult.

Slid my Jeep into a gully on the side of a mountain and almost went down the mountain while trying to get out of it.

>Daily reminder that he encounters a furry on his ascent. I’m not joking.
what does this even mean? Was there some furry hanging out halfway up a rock face dressed as a goat or something?

how do you avoid OSHA requirements and inspectors?

Nah, dude was dressed as a unicorn - and he was sleeping in a tent hanging off the side of the face that Honnold passed.

lmao what the fuck. Does anyone have a screencap of this?

that looks kinda fun

Attached: furry.png (873x489, 862K)

yeah it gave me the urge to climb. also it actually looks really safe. i'd be more worried about tearing skin or spraining something than falling

jesus christ imagine coming across that on your climb, I'd probably drop to my death

he was basically past the dude before he even really got up, he was fucking moving and this nigger got out of bed only after Honnold blew past him with no ropes or gear.

Is this guy an sperg or he is high on something?

they did an mri scan of his brain (in the movie) and it showed that he does not have the same reactions when it comes to seeing scary images as other people. his brain doesn't really register fear for him.

on top of that, there's some family stuff the movie never really dives into. i.e. dad being autistic, family members never hugging each other, etc.

I think he is fine, just a weird mix of genetics and upbringing. on top of that, the whole culture seems to attract mainly weird guys.

>put yourself in dangerous situations for the thrill
>expect others to feel bad when it inevitably goes wrong
based retards

Protag remind me of Kokou no Hito MC.
Why outfag always like this?

Watch the dawn wall

Though according to climbfags, what he did is technically superior to Alex's cimb

How many people die doing this shit?

The older guy died halfway through filming.

solo climbing? It's hard to say, so few people do it. Climbing in general isn't that dangerous, more people die in car wrecks than rock climbing.

he said in the film that most free soloers who died actually died while doing other things
