alistair Because I enjoyed the last three at the cinema, I thought I’d revisit the others just to double check they weren’t all as bad as I remembered.
mono-stereo The prequels are dismal.
watched free solo on friday and i’ve never had my feet sweat so much watching tv. no idea how anyone is insane enough to do that, but what an accomplishment.
303abuser I’ve watched a few times and i still keep thinking he’s going to fall off on a certain part.
303abuser amazing documentary, the bloke is a true nutter, but fair play to him. Dawn Wall is decent too
It’s good, but he got on my tits a bit - the whole my mom didn’t hug me schtick. Get to fuck
he’s clearly got some issues, i think you’d have to in order to do that. you really get the sense that he didn’t care if he fell.
303abuser the sad thing is, neither did I
Along_the_Wire 🤣 cold as ice.
Along_the_Wire lol. So true. His doris was a twat n all
Millsy i really didn’t like her. no concept of what he was trying to do and how she was putting his life at risk. she had that “i’ll be the one to change him” attitude.
Well they’re now married and she’s turned climber, so it seems he changed her.
Homegrove that’s funny, hope it works out for them. wonder if he compromised and is using safety gear now.
Along_the_Wire watched this with the Boy this afternoon, great Sunday afternoon film.
Anybody seen Wake In Fright? If us is the 1971 version the one to watch or is there a newer remake?
Wasn’t aware there was a remake, the original was thought to be lost but was discovered and remastered….it’s really good.
RichM Dawn wall is good. Same mountain, fixed ropes & two people. No where near as risky.
RichM yeah i liked that one too. maybe once this covid thing is under control i’ll attempt some indoor climbing and see what it’s like. not built for it, but seems like i’d get injured less often than playing soccer.
Dubman yeah but they took a harder route up iirc. In Free Solo most of the route is via that fucking great split in the granite.

If you haven’t, I do hope you get to see Yosemite in the flesh. Pictures might capture the beauty, but they never capture the scale. El Capitan and Half Dome are gigantic beyond belief.

Prepare to find new pain in new muscles you didn’t know you had. Much harder than it looks.
Millsy I watched Dawn wall before Free solo and was blown away it. Free Solo took it to another level. It’s like those mountaineers who climb Everest with added oxygen.

Had no idea you were such a mountaineer Millsy!
Amps oh i’m sure of that. just need to get rid of the soccer injuries. in the last 5 years i’ve torn my mcl twice, meniscus once, broken foot, chipped tooth, and another 35 smaller injuries. getting too old for this stuff.
do you climb?
