So I watched this one last night, as time was running out on the 99c specials, it was time to knuckle down and watch. I am glad I did, it is a bit of a stunner. Alex Honnold is a 34 year old American, whose sport is to free climb rock faces. In this movie, a team follow him as he attempts to climb the 914m high El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. It is almost a shear rock face, and he climbs without any ropes, and the views alone filmed for the documentary are enough to have made me feel dizzy as I sat on my couch. I was partly entranced, but mostly horrified. Not the sport for me. 4/5

I'm not afraid of heights, just of falling from them. This would kill me, in more ways than one.
