Free Solo

Watched the documentary Free Solo today.  About a free solo climb (no ropes!) and free solo climber.  Highly recommended if you haven't seen it - a lot more interesting than it sounds, I can understand why it won an Oscar.  Reminded me a bit of Grizzly Man, but (SPOILER ALERT!) with a happier ending.  I'll never understand why someone would want to intentionally put themselves at risk to climb up 3000 feet of a near vertical cliff face without rope.  Makes for a fascinating insight into that kind of mindset - and particularly how it affects the people around them.  And yet more confirmation of what a boring and unfulfilling life I have lived.
