yeah, I’m calling it ASSISTED Solo from now on.
can't believe I got meme'd into watching this Red Bull commercial.
Uses magic sticky powder
Can you stop riding this dude's dick? It's boring.
Do you think he is depressed like Beebo 'Skyking' Russell? If I interviewed him I would ask about that scene where he's answering the questionnaire and the question about depression comes up and before cutting away. I would ask if he is suicidal. Also, I'd ask him his thoughts on the suicidal wanderer, Christopher 'Supertramp' McCandless. Alex's girlfriend shares the same last name as Supertramp, so that's why I thought to connect Alex and Chris.
All three men were around the same age, white, did awe-inspiring things, and were possibly suicidal. You think we'll see Alex die doing some low-level free solo or base jump in a few years?
obvious bait is obvious, but i'm bored and a climber, so anywho
>uses magic sticky powder
lol. chalk isn't sticky. it just dries your hands.
>uses $3000 sticky ultra friction shoes
$160. but yeah, climbing shoes are amazing. but wait til the gecko shit comes out.
>uses lotion + other stuff as well
wut
>does the climb many times with ropes to memorize the carefully selected path
memorizing the moves=/=executing the moves
>cameraman ready to catch his hand if he falls
now i know you didn't watch the movie. when he actually did it all the close cameras were stationed in place and unmanned. the camera crews were on the ground and on the summit.
I was so pissed off, the guy is literally a joke, I thought he would go shoeless and shit, but no, he had tons of preparation and crutches like the powder
i know you guys are just talking shit to rile people up, but it bums me out that there are people out there who actually believe what you're saying.
you guys are getting baited by the lowest quality of baits.
t. didn't read either of my posts

I'm not an incel, but now I realized why Elliot Roger went ballistic.
not sure why you quoted everyone, but based off what i know about her from the movie his gf is an unsupportive idiot and has to go. the movie would have been significantly improved by her absence.
they’re too distracting, fuck women, he needed a gay climbing friend
The whole "unsupportive gf" storyline was fabricated to pad out the film's running time and add drama.
Its why the film makers thanked her first when they won Oscar for best documentary because she allowed them to character assassinate her.
Interesting. I hadn't thought of that.
I mean, the fucking climb was 4 hours long. Why couldn't they just narrate over his climb? We don't need to know about his sperg father's death or his gf.
ass dumb
>Its why the film makers thanked her first when they won Oscar for best documentary because she allowed them to character assassinate her.
oh yeah that definitely won't backfire and is totally true
There is literally zero fucking tension in this since everyone knows he wont fall and die. Whats the fucking point of watching this?
Oscar bait that’s why
>that giant crack where the only thing keeping him on the cliff was the amount of pressure he was able to exert with his hands/arms
Insane, to be desu.
unlikely. more realistically they didn't expect her to still be around and had to do some damage control.
>walks down through a hiking trail
seems like he only did half the job
>sit down to watch a comfy sport documentary about one man's sheer will
>he uses ultra super glue powder to climb the walls
i feel robbed

Yeah he should have live streamed it
>knowing how a story ends makes it not worth watching
Not if the entire fucking premise is
>"look how dangerous it is will he do it or will he fall!!!!!"
Fucking dumb
Witnessing a human feat of endurance, strength, persistence and iron will?
would be, if not for the expensive fag shoes and make-up powder to help
Yeah, I was expecting it to be up and down the mountain, it seems like he only did half the job.
>documentary of an event that was internationally covered over a year ago
>premise is based on success or failure
no. that's for events like people tightroping between skyscrapers on live tv.
So as far as I understand from these threads he had so much technical assistance that anyone would have been able to do this. Given that's true why was he the first one to do it/first one to make a movie.
actual climbers were doing harder shit
>he had so much technical assistance that anyone would have been able to do this.
Completely wrong
