- Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old Canadian makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Leclerc's approach is the essence of solo adventure. Nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let a film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. Veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer (THE DAWN WALL) sets out to make a film about Leclerc but struggles to keep up with his elusive subject. Then, Leclerc embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing.
This is an astonishing film. You start out questioning Mark-André's choices in life; by the end you are questioning your own.
watched it last night and this is exactly how i feel !
So you question not dying at age 26? Yeah, your life must really suck.
@@marcuslinton310 That is what you took away from the film?
@@geoff4705 I could make a long winded explanation, but the bottom line is people have been justifying their choices to themselves and other people since the inception of choices. Everybody wants their choices to mean something beyond just another life choice. They find something they truly enjoy doing and fabricate some kind of BS meaning beyond what it really is in order to justify their obsession with it. People like yourself fall for it and start questioning their own life choices. It's really that simple.
@@marcuslinton310 The amount of you's that comment on vids like these lol
I went to high school with Marc. Watching this film was surreal for me to see what he accomplished in such jaw-dropping fashion, remembering the kid I grew up with getting into trouble n such. You'd never see him without a smile on his face. RIP my brother
I didn’t see much that he climbed - I’m sure he did - but disappointing film
@@1ICON1 looks like he didn't allow the film crew to film him much. Glad they got at least enough to make the film.
@@1ICON1 he explained why he didn't want a film crew with him in his climbs.
Alex had the exact same issue in his documentary.
These guys dint wsnt camera crews flowing them in their journey. Jt takes away .
As Mark put it
" why don't I want you with me when I'm free-soloing? Well because then I'm not " free ".
RIP GOAT
You are lucky to know this amazing guy to me he is my hero
1,5 hours of tears streaming down my face due to the sheer beauty of it all and the hole he left behind in the climbing community. A truly inspirational human.
Did he die
Maybe he decided to drop out and is living in a crevasse somewhere...out there.
@@chriswertz1438
He wouldn’t leave his girl behind like that.
Crying over a privileged egotistical adrenaline junkie, now I've seen it all.
@@ak-os3pu brette harrington isn't dead bro, where did you hear that?
The true definition of a free spirit. Marc was one in a billion.
Yes 🍀🌄🌠🇧🇷
Thanks to the entire film crew for making this documentary possible. Without them Marc’s story may have never been told. RIP Marc!
One thing I want to mention about this film is the relationship between Brette and Marc. They were so in love. The scene where Marc is bivvying during his climb in Patagonia and he records a video message for Brette. The love was palpable and oh so sweet. It broke my heart to watch this film. I think he lived the life he wanted to live and I love that for him, but I hate that he had to die. Also, what a beautiful person his mom is as well.
My feelings to. We live in a physical world.. his love for Brett, and her love for Marc was almost child-like but pure and very advanced...most of us never get there. Beautiful to watch
She was a badass too. Cool couple.
We are drawn to people who are living life doing what they were born to do. They make us take a look at our own lives and ponder what our purpose is. Even the small moments in the film were so impactful like Marc Andre hula hooping with Hevy Duty and the young boy who was so drawn to Marc Andre in Patagonia as it showed how his positive energy was shared with those around him. The world needs more people like MA.
Well said
I almost never write reviews, but this movie was incredible and so was Marc-Andre. I truly am sorry to hear about his passing, not only would I have loved to watch more of his awe-inspiring climbs, but he seemed like an authentic and kind human who positively impacted the lives of those around him. RIP.
Well said. He was very genuine
One of the best documentaries I have ever watched. Marc was a certified legend. RIP champ.
watched this on netflix, i have been trying to shove it down peoples throats since. This man deserves to be known world wide, his outlook on life is astonishig. i usually don't watch stuff like this but i was super stoned and up very late and decided why not? i was completely moved by his story and who he was as a person. finding out he passed away is honestly heartbreaking this man was a genuine person and a badass!
exactly!
finding out he passed? it was obvious in the first 35 min he was going to die
@@tmazer99505 you gotta remember these are the same people who swallow tide pods…
I love stories like these. I remember the first time I watched the documentary Man On Wire. I live vicariously through these dudes.
@@tmazer99505 how was it obvious he would die in just that small of time?? He also died tied to a rope on a decent not a climb so your wrong.
This doc moved me so much.. I fell in love with Marc-Andre and his passion, I laughed, cheered, was on the edge of my seat and bawled like a baby.
Marc-Andre was the Jimi Hendrix of climbing it seems.. but man the way he lives and how wise he is for his age is unbelievably awesome.
well saidd agree
Totally. I’ve only once felt like crying because of a movie besides this one. So intense.
Oh man, I remember when he was just a young kid weighing in on Cascadeclimbers forum. He was maybe 15, and asking smart questions in a really sincere way, that could almost make one think he was a troll. Then he started posting some trip reports. It was hard to fathom what this young kid was getting up to. Gradually, I - we - realised that, good God, he was a singularity in the world of alpinism. RIP.
Beautifully put. Thank you.
he was on cascadeclimbers? that forum died....used to be there a lot. what was his username?
@@mark_9019 His username was 'Cheamclimber'. There were some really good climbers posting on that forum, such as Colin Haley, but when this ultra sincere-sounding young kid started posting trip reports ... mind-blowing. To say the least. Again, RIP.
RIP?
@@DeePunter yeah, hè died in march 2018
This is a must watch. Thank you Marc-Andre Leclerc. Thank you to Marc's Mum , girlfriend, friends, colleagues, mentors and Film Makers for honouring Marc with this magnificent documentary.
Namaste
Respect
I bow. ❤.
What a talent. The mountains were in his soul. Beyond words he was so special.
in 25 years, he had lived more than most people do in their entire lives. RIP
BS
By climbing and dying?? Lol. Most people attend college, get married, have children etc. AND still do a fair amount of traveling and hiking and such. Please don’t try to romanticize this dude’s selfish life. Amazing how a simple movie can warp someone’s point of view about a guy like Marc. What he did was incredibly stupid
Well, then those still living will have a chance to catch up now. You can say he inspired them.
@@welcometothejungl3 who are you to judge, you speak with hate and resentment. You’re showing yourself
@@ericodgers8160 I’m able to judge because he died as a result of his irresponsible climbing. I’m here and he isn’t.
SPOILER ALERT!!!! just watched this film in Netflix tonight. it was so amazing until the last 10 minutes, I really didn't prepare for his sudden stop in life. I knew that sooner or later, at some point of time, that could happen to him, as long as he kept climbing. But I didn't expect it came so fast, so soon. He's like a meteor, lighting up the darkness of the sky. He quickly ran through the world, burning, with the brilliant light. Most of us, living a normal life, day after day, generation after generation. We are the night sky, massive, unnoticeable background. But we do admire the stars, and the meteors. They lighten up our world, show us some of the basic meaning of life.
Well said brother lmk what strain your blazing on my friend ?😎❤️
I kind of anticipated the end when at one point everyone was talking about how dangerous it was. In a way I guess the film crew saw this coming. They probably just didn’t anticipate it this quickly.
What a gorgeous analogy - I think he would have appreciated this comment.♥️
What sucks is it wasn't a fall that killed him, but rather nature. Maybe Mother Nature is actually a ruthless bitch who said "You've gone far enough".
Thanks for the spoiler ffs
I sat. Quiet... for at least 30 minutes after watching this film. I had to sit in the emotions because they were so intense. I couldn't move or speak. There's really nothing I can say that would do it justice. Just watch it.
How these movies don’t win every cinematography award and how this kid isn’t known is beyond me. My eyes were closed for half this movie. I don’t even understand where he gets the courage and strength to do these climbs. Utterly amazing.
it's actually pretty easy once you know the basics of climbing
he was actually just kind of suicidal, think of a race car driver who never hit the brakes, not on turns, or snow, or rain yeah it would look cool but obviously the wreck is coming
@@tmazer99505 yes in the film it was actually mentioned that around 50% of free solo climbers end up dying. And he was the most extreme of all of them so death was probably something he had come to terms with knowing that it would inevitably happen at some time. He explained about eating his meal before he climbed a challenging route he always appreciated that it could possibly be his last and as such he treasured every moment. It is a truly incredible and yet crazy mindset, living life to the extreme and smiling at death just waiting for it to arrive.
He did what he did for nobody except himself. The true definition of chasing your dreams. What to be learned from this is the human potential and capabilities when you are chasing things for the right reasons. Absolutely inspirational. Can only strive to reach this level of self fulfillment
I reach the same level of fulfillment just in a different, safer way. Threesomes - with two hot girls. No camera crews, no sponsors, just a mind blowing time for yours truly.
I rewatch this all the time to remind myself to live life to the fullest and do things because I want to, not because I want others to know I did them. Highly recommend this film. Thanks Marc🕊
Every human on earth needs and must watch this. Never even knew who he was but he’s left a mark on my soul and I thank you for that! Night sounds weird but I believe he’s a god in a human body. Rip brotha.
This is one of the best doco’s I’ve seen. Talent, athletic ability, focus, drive, and a mindset that I’m not sure anyone could truly understand. Amazing human.
This is a truly great documentary that deserves to be watched by anyone who cares about their role in the world. This is definitely not just about a climber and climbing but a great deal more than that. I hope their efforts are rewarded at the Oscars as this is the best documentary I have seen for a number of years.
14 peaks was pretty dope too
It’s up there with touching the void! 👍
wtf its a movie about climbing stop talking shit
Not enough POCs 🤣
At the end, he made me question my existence. Rest In Peace legend! So many of us will never understand the state of mind Marc was in in his everyday life. The level of composure and joy he felt everyday.
Sad for you that your life sucks that you have to judge it based on what somebody else did with theirs. The F'n guy climbed rocks all his life, big F'n deal.
@@marcuslinton310 Bro r u ok inside? 😬
@@JayAlvarrez Why? Because I find no need to idolize this guy? You people are the ones not okay.
@@marcuslinton310 Most people live their lives following what society has defined as a way of living - go to school, get a job, start a family, and so on. It’s not wrong, but we often wonder if there’s a greater meaning in our lives. But then we don’t have enough courage or will to further explore and pursue it. This is why this movie is so inspiring because this guy was living his life to its fullest, enjoying every single moment without any regret even though the price could be life itself. To each their own though
@@user-xn7uh5ch2z You left one major aspect out of why people don't pursue their every whim. Having the wealth to do it. Without the sponsorship, it's unknown how long he could have kept going. Most people have to earn a living, they don't get money handed to them freely to go indulge their passions.
One of the most incredible films I have ever seen. It makes you want to LIVE life.
I only came across this film a couple of days ago by chance and so glad I did, Some people are only put on this earth for a short while, but what they achieve gets remembered for a lifetime, Mark Andre Leclerc was definitely one of those people, A maverick and a free spirit who died pushing the boundaries and doing what he loved.
RIP 🙏
This is without question the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen. Marc was such a special person-just wow.
Free solo climbers really are just a breed all their own. They are simultaneously out of their damn kinds, while also being cool calm and collected, and a massive inspiration, showing people that we are capable of wonderous things if we put the work in.
Quite the opposite. It only demonstrates what certain people are capable of. Majority of people are not capable of doing anything close to what he did no matter how hard they try. Like everyone else in life, he discovered what he was good at and pursued it. Just like people who excel at singing and playing instruments. Everyone is different and majority of people aren't capable of excelling at lot of things.
@@marcuslinton310 way to completely miss the point, Marc literally inspires and shows people that they can do great things if they put the work in - whether that be something basic like playing an instrument which you even suggested. No one said they have to be excellent at a whole bunch of things. Marc did 1 thing and did it as the best in the world. You act like people are born into their hobbies/talents. Try have a more positive and optimistic outlook bud
@@adambassuni6084 I didn't miss the point at all, buuuuud. If you want to question your life choices based on somebody elses accomplishments, that's your privilege.
@@marcuslinton310 tell me where i said i want to question my life choices based off somebody elses accomplishments lmao. Not sure why you have so much hate for someone who was at the top of their chosen field and one of the best in the world? People who actually enjoy their hobbies/passions and love pushing themselves to the absolute limit find it inspirational. Fair enough if you dont find him inspirational but theres literally no need to call this dude stupid when he has no effect whatsoever on you bud
@@adambassuni6084 I apologize, I thought this was a different thread where people said this guy made them question their life choices. But my point stands, not everyone is capable of extreme performance, in fact, most people aren't. It's not trying to be negative, just realistic. The original comment suggest this guy shows what anyone can do if they put their mind to it and that's simply not true whatsoever.
super thoughtful, energizing movie, I was surprised by how well made it was, mind-bending cinematography, kudos, but more than that, Marc's spirit, the idea that "today is a good day to die" really was a thing for him. I did not know his fate at the beginning of the movie, but I know about winter alpine climbing and I knew that, no matter his genius skill, it was a matter of time. But, here's the thing, this was a movie of celebration and one powerful illustration of how we push ourselves into the world, even knowing we will leave it.
THE ALPINIST - 2021 Documentary, Netflix Wifi - 5 STARS!
Marc-André Leclerc climbs in the elevated moment between life and death, where every seconds lead to the hyper realization of ones existence! Without this documentary, no one outside the tiny elite group of alpinists would know who this 23yrs old is.
What Marc accomplished from pure enjoyment awe, shock and shiver the climbing community into immortalizing him as a true legend!
Not that this film needs any more praise, but I can't resist sharing how powerful this film is both on the surface and deep within the interior life of each participant. A good film makes you see the world differently, and now thank God, I do! Thank you for sharing your talents and passions with the world.
I was starting to think the full length movie would not happen. Glad it is. I can see one of his solos from the porch, and it always makes me wonder what he still might have done. Huge inspiration.
Marc-Andre is an incredibly inspiring person, and this film did an amazing job of capturing a glimpse of his adventurous, free spirit. What a cool dood.
After watching this I feel like Marc-André was on a mission from the heavens to inspire humanity to be bold and humble. The timing, and even just the discovery of this person, by the film makers is truly a gift that I am grateful. I hope to never forget this story.
This is exactly what I felt. Marc was so good at what he did, he was extremely determined to break barriers. I was truly impressed and inspired. He was such an extraordinary human being
The film is astonishing. Great storytelling. I didn't know about Marc and I was absolutely inspired by his genuine personality, pure passion and fearless vision. I'll carry it with me.
I watched the documentary. I like and appreciate how in a manner of speaking Marc expressed to the film crew by soloing Emperor Face that it wasn't about them. The climber so humble and the filmers frustrated egos bruised. There faces made me laugh because they can not understand that its not about them. Or us for that matter. "It wouldn't be a solo to me if someone was there." Bravo Marc.
I am sitting here watching👀 this documentary right now as I'm typing this. I just paused it to do a YT search on Marc-Andre and I found this. It was just released on Netflix today I believe and I am only 27 mins into it and I am SPEECHLESS🤐!!! This lad is unlike anyone or anything I've EVER seen😳!!! I'm not even a climber but watching this . . . the word SPECTACULAR doesn't even begin to describe this lad!!! This is an ABSOLUTE MUST WATCH!!!! Excuse me as I continue to watch the remaining hour of this UNBELIEVABLE documentary!!!
It appears you didn’t know what was to come in the doc, neither did I. Just like you, I had the urge to pause the movie like halfway through to tell someone just how incredible it is. I’m seriously shook by who he was and what he did. Unreal.
Just got done watching this film. Very humbled.......must say I definitely was one of these typical no sympathy guys, "if you fall?oh well your fault!"
But my view, not just on climbing but life in general has changed thanks to this young man. Thank you Marc.
People including myself can only dream of the many views you were destined to see and what an achievement it was.
Rest easy ❤.
Watched this having no idea he had passed... At the end of the video, his loss feels so personal.. World lost a good human !
this was literally me and my mom watching this. We were so attached to Marc and had no prior knowledge about him before watching. When we found out he passed you could hear a pin drop. The fact that his body was never recovered either was even worse. We were sobbing so hard cause we just wanted to see him succeed that climb. RIP
wow. its eerie hearing marc andre's voice again. thinking of his family and all the emotions that are still so raw. looking forward to this. thanks to all involved for honouring a legacy.
Absolutely amazing documentary! This is a beautiful example of why people should be left alone to do what they love without cameras being shoved in their face....not for fame and fortune but because it's their personal and fullfilling want, not everyone else's need to see it.
Marc and I were close friends way back in middle school for a while, we grew apart but this is really cool to see. RIP Marc
The best movie I saw in 2022. Loved his passion and admired his escaping the spotlight
Watching him climb like that scared me more than any horror movie in years. He lived a life that's for sure.
I went to the theater to watch this when it came out. Granted it was the early showing, but no one else was there. Had it all to myself for this very inspirational life story.
I watch all these amazing climbing documentaries...all the climbers are never cease to blow my mind with their lifestyle and what they accomplish. However ..This film shows us a climber with a unique free spirit even more wild than the greatest climbers of the world, which is almost like seeing an archetype of a new type of truly free human being that is showing how we can be great without getting attached to greatness or survival for the sake of survival
Brilliantly put.
I had no idea how this Documentary ended. I had watched Free Solo, loved it And just thought this would be more of the same. When the movie was done, I literally sat there numb. I was not prepared at all for this ending. It’s well into the next day now and I still think of him in this documentary with tears in my eyes. It just makes me want to cry. God bless you, Marc-Andre 1 million times over for living your dream over again and again and again. God broke the mold when he made you 😭🙏🏼
Free Solo made me fall in love with climbing, but The Alpinist made me motivated and now i have to get out and learn it.
It's hard to say something about this man that doesn't sound wrong. Well, it is a movie about Marc-Andres life story that ends tragically. Like Mozart he got the touch of the divine and got a glimpse of experiencing things that are by all means impossible. But it was also his curse for he had to do did things that would inevitably kill him. I'm not judging him nor do I want to be like him. In fact the one thing that impressed me was that he insisted to climb completely alone, and literally ran off so no one could witness his climbs. That means one of the best climbers of all time did some of the greatest climbs of humanity completely in secret. That's such small, powerful concept and holds magic and beauty that maybe only Japanese Samurai could understand.
I think in principle he knew what was coming for him, but he was optimistic that he would have more time. There have been others like him (eg Mishima) that spoke of being fully alive for the present moment is more important than a very long life. Maybe that's a sort of a psychological disorder for some people but for a truly spiritual person who is willing to go beyond all bounds this is also extremely beautiful and satisfying. If I had to describe it I would say he turned his life and death into a great work of art, that would make future people wonder for all time what he actually did. And perhaps it made him so happy because he knew that he could really do it. Anyone who deliberately risks his life (like race drivers) plays with the same fire only with better odds. It feels so much better to be alive when you just escaped death one more time that for some people it becomes all that matters.
Gone way too soon for all of us. I can only imagine what other adventures lay ahead for him. Can't wait to see this.
I'm glad this story was told, even though Marc didn't want all his climbs documented. He climbed for himself to have the adventure, not to prove anything to anybody. I can respect that, while also understanding he was an incredible climber.
Absolutely insane feat, and a great way to honor his legacy and family.
Wait…..he’s dead? Fucking hell.
@@gabrieljohannson6777 He died from an avalanche/ice fall with his partner Ryan Johnson in 2018 after climbing a new route on the Mendenhall tower in Alaska, out of all his climbs the one where he was with a partner and using safety gear was the one he lost his life to
It was such a beautiful documentary He died so young but he died doing what he loved the best.
What a documentary..well done!! Marc seems to be a special person..we need to celebrate his achievements and acknowledge that this is how he wanted it to live his life..
The first time I saw this I thought marc André Leclerc was in his mid-30s. As a mountaineer myself, I remember feeling tears coming down my eyes. Near the end of the film, I realized he was only 25 years old, and would've been 30 this year. I was born in 1992 only 94 days older than him. Such an amazing Human
Wow - What an incredible film about an inspirational human being - I can't get his story and this film out of my thoughts. I don't want to. What a gift - his life and this film. Thank you.
So much better than Free Solo. The dude isn't a robot, takes way more insane risks, and doesn't leave the movie with a story that will likely get kids to attempt what he's trying and die as well. How this didn't get more awards is baffling.
Just finished watching now im going to climb to the top of the gum tree in my backyard & drop 5 tabs of acid & try to contact Marc
It's not a just a documentary about climbing in the mountains...it's a philosophical journey...shall we overcame fear to reach for our dreams, or should fear keep us a little bit safer?...and how much fear make our lifes worth living..?..these all are personal questions, but I'm sure that most people would envy what Marc experienced in his short & full life...
Fantastic movie that pulled on every emotion. Marc-André Leclerc shows us all what it looks like to life on your terms. I wish I had that kind of courage.
It actually tuned out to be the most heartbreaking love story I’ve ever seen on screen. A masterpiece.
Although I feel as though an Ice Axe has pierced my heart this was an exceptional biography.
je l'ai vu hier soir et j'ai été bouleversé par l'énergie, la détermination ,la passion, la joie de vivre, l'humilité et la profonde humanité de Marc André! Merci! je ne suis pas alpiniste, pas grimpeur rien de tout ca mais tu m'as profondément inspiré... Pensées a ta maman, papa, ta cherie et tes amis
The movie was so beautiful, I was jaw dropped for most of it, a must see on the big screen.
To all the haters!! Seriously think about this. It doesn’t matter how long you lived when your dead. We are all a 2 generations of being completely forgotten about. People like Marc Andre are immortal… we still talk about George Mallory and he died in 1924.. books and making movies about him!! Hope you get my point! 🙌
Looks great. Ueli Steck is needing a fitting documentary also.
Ueli Steck in a league of his own. Speed high altitude climbing
here you go (with english subtitles):
th-cam.com/video/a0cQG4q-n5U/w-d-xo.html
Reminds me so much of Ueli Steck
quality over quantity...Marc may have died doing what he LOVED most in the world at age 25 ...but he lived a lifetime of adventures during that time and REALLY experienced what life has to offer much more than most people alive today. These videos & tribute to Marc will go on and inspire other people not just those love to climb but everyone. In that sense, he is still with us.
I never even knew Marc and the second they said they didn’t find him, I was truly heartbroken for everyone that did know him. Legendary Film
This film captures a soul so genuine, pure and authetic that it makes you question your on day-to-day existence. RIP Marc Andre, you died just as you dreamed, to go out as a icon in your field. You are now immortal.
I believe that his soul was very advanced...more so than most of ours
To the dead, one owes respect.
To the living, only the truth.
-Voltaire
Isn't it the other way around?
This may be related to some of what I've said, if you can find my comment.
Marc-André is mankind's ambassador to the mountains and the mountains allowed him to climb them because of his reverence for the craft. And I say this knowing jack about climbing, but even I get "it". That's what a good ambassador of anything does...he/she represents the best of those who sent them. He deserved his awesomeness.
This makes me want to watch the movie "Touching the Void" again. Excellent movie!
Greatest athlete to ever walk this earth thus far, and no one even knows it.
A flood of mixed emotions. So happy joyful, so sad and heart breaking. He was an artist, God speed brother.
Thanks for the spoiler....
@@WendyWindsor your welcome
I’ve watched this movie probably 20 times. You’re nothing short of amazing Marc Andre Leclerc
Saw it this weekend...WOW! Painfully splendid...thank you to all who were involved...from the urban dweller who lives in a cesspool of violence and corruption....I was in awe, inspired and allowed to believe in the impossible.
The trailer brings tears to my eyes. These men are so inspiring. And Alex endorses it. Must see this. ❤️
Lol just randomly come across this video because I heard Joe Rogan talking about it then next think I know I see my Cousin Berry "also a mountain Climber" .. haha i didn't know he was in this.
Just finished watching the movie what an amazing guy he was . He did some truly amazing things and some even more amazing things we will probably never know about.
Words couldn’t explain the doors this documentary has opened and the inevitable dangers I’m heading for, I’m not a climber yet ,but I just found what I am !
If you are planning just make this documentary your first priority. It is worth watching.
No matter how good you are, nature finds a way and the odds catch up to you. Rest in peace dear sir.
Alex Honnold free soloed for over a decade and survived. He is now retiring moreso from free soloing. So I think it's safe to say it can be fine.
@@baloog8 nature has her way in the end, sadly.
@@baloog8
He says himself in the documentary that he didn’t push the limits Marc did. He climbed stone, solid, predictable. Marc climbed it all.
Found this movie so inspirational at a time of my life when I am wondering what the next adventure might be.
I didn't know I would be having a spiritual experience watching this movie 🤯🌌🌌🏔️🌌🌌. He was one with those mountains. Complete synchrony
Now he is permanently part of the mountain, complete irony.
Just finished watching this movie/documentary & I'm drained!
This was terrifying, scary & tense. This guy was insane.
The ending kind of killed me though. ( no pun intended ) I am heartbroken & very sad right now. I was liking him a lot.
RIP M-A L. You were one of a kind! ♥
Same here..and i didn't even knew about his death..i was watching with smiling mood of 'Free Solo" documentary and then my eyes got teared up at the end.
Thanks for ruining this for me
@@jkova3243 Sorry if I/we did. But if you ever watched any kind of video about Marc-André, pretty much all the comments made by people have that same unique phrase at the end. R.I.P. There are worse things in life man!
@@jkova3243 You looked up the trailer of the movie and then you scrolled this far to the comments. You were risking it all
@@SoCloseToToast you make a good point.
Thank you for showing this to the world!!🌟
Incredible! My only must-see film this year.
He reminded me of the singer Jim Morrison.
Rip to the fucking legend MARC!!!!!! This doc had me in my feelings!!! Rip to the guy!!! Love from Puerto Rico Marc u the man
This documentary began the process of changing my life. Really got me thinking
Watched the movie today, so good. I cried.
Where did you watch it?
Very high motivational documentry, Hats off to his guts and he lived his life fullest. Given hope and courage to us.🙏💎
One man’s nightmare is another’s passion!
Perfect quote....
In the spectrum of living experiences Marc’s life was at the top. His beautiful face will always live in our memories. 🙏🏽
Just saw it tonight. Beautiful tribute. Must see.
Sucks that I discovered this 2 years late, Glad that now its coming to Netflix and I can witness this soon.
I'm watching this film in total amazement. There is one question I keep asking myself climbing all these dangerous faces. Once you get to the top, how are they getting down??? They don't talk about that.
Good question. I asked myself the same. I understand they will either walk down the less steep side of a mountain or rapel down with a rope the way they ascented. On some mountains it might be possible to be picked up by helicopter.
Mix of down climbing and rappelling, but mostly rappelling. Marc has written a few blog posts detailing how he climbed mt. Robson and torre eiger including how he descended. You never get picked up by a helicopter.
I had the exact same question in my mind throughout
@@unropednope4644 Do they have such long ropes? How does that even work for a 8k ft mountain?

Move down, re-rope, move down, re-rope, repeat.
People like Marc are extremely rare - a quote comes to mind: "It is an apparition from that mysterious shadow world beyond nature, that final world, which contains - if anything contains - the explanation of men and catfish and green leaves." He was one of those from "...that mysterious shadow world..." that we mere mortals will never fully comprehend. Climb on, Marc, wherever you may be.
Seriously incredible movie I was so amazed and fascinated by the dawn wall and this one hit the same. It’s so impressive and awe inspiring what lengths humans can and will go through to achieve their dreams.
