Imagine being by yourself in the dead center of a 3,000-foot vertical cliff — without a rope to catch you if you fall. For professional rock climber Alex Honnold, this dizzying scene marked the culmination of a decade-long dream. In a hair-raising TED talk, he tells the story of how he summited Yosemite's 3,000ft high El Capitan, completing one of the most dangerous free solo climbs ever.
NOTE that the documentary film titled Free Solo follows Alex Honnold as he prepares to become the first person to ever free solo climb El Capitan and then as he completed arguably the greatest feat in rock climbing history.
