      Wouldn't go that far 😂. But he definitely reminds me of that fear we all need to concure. And I love that. But no he's not perfect. He's only perfect at climbing. Everything else is up to debate. Everyone, everyone is vulnerable in some way or another. That's the truth. Or there'd be no reason to be "alive" if it we're not for adversity" 😉

    Jimmy and Chai have produced a film that has totally inspired me to step out of a life that has become stale by working all the time and to get back to the things that I forgot how much I loved and missed. Being in the mountains and climbing. Thank you! Thank you Alex for taking the ultimate risk to make me see what I’m missing out on.

    I caught the film, "Solo" and...it scared the shit out of me. My palms were sweating; I white knuckled my armrest in the theater. And I'm a former guide on Rainier.
    FWIW: I'm an old guy, no longer doing it....but what I experienced in the film was....a kaleidoscope of emotions: FEAR, worry, hope, and ultimately....RELIEF...that Alex survived.
    It truly DESERVES the accolades received- and the great efforts of all concerned. KUDOS.

There are so many factors that make us all different in our aptitudes, tolerance, assertiveness, ability to manifest our lives how we imagine.

    Anyone could have directed this and it would have been great. The subject matter (Alex climb) is absolutely incredible and comes once in a lifetime. The Highwire camera crew deserves all the credit next to Alex. This Director made a grotesque speech when excepting the Oscar. The worst ever.... Absolutely self absorbed and disrespectful. Alex has some borderline personality issues and is non-emotional and introverted-which Is why he is so successful up there. So did she really need to poke fun of him with her, “the film would have been boring without you,” comment to his girlfriend? And even here, she finally mentioned Alex in 10 minutes of the 12 minute video. Just like the Oscars speech.....

      Matt Stone - I want to give her a big kiss on the lips. She sure is pretty. hehe Although, I am almost willing to bet that she is one of those psycho, new-age or modern feminists. I surprises me that she is married or produced a movie with a male hero. Although, maybe that explains why Alex took a backseat at the Oscars (from what I hear... I didn't see it). Although, maybe she isn't a wacko feminist. Who knows. I just get that impression.

    Jimmy Chin is one lucky man! You seem to be the most vivacious, curious, artistic and extremely intelligent women I have heard speak in some time - Can't wait to see "Free Solo" I have been following ALex for a number of years, but to be honest with you, I truly hopes he hangs up his solo shoes for good now that he has accomplished as much as he has. He seems to also be such a genuine person and to hear of his death from soloing would really crush me as it would so many others that care for him, be it his close friends or people like myself who do not even know the fella, but in a way feel we do, as climbers and film makers.....anyway, love your work and look forward to seeing what your future projects unveil for all the world to see and learn from - peace from Canada!!

      I think they wanted to humanize alex, and show how his passion for free soloing affects the relationships in his life including romantic ones. My understanding is they started working on free solo when he met his gf so they ended dating as the movie was being filmed. Obviously there is something he likes about her coz it's been 3yrs and he said in a print interview he's thinking of marriage.
