A fearless climber prepares to attempt the first rope-free ascent of a towering Yosemite rock face. As the challenge approaches, the documentary explores the intense preparation, personal relationships, and extraordinary focus required to pursue such a dangerous goal.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like intense true-life challenges, breathtaking mountain visuals, and psychologically complex subjects; Not for you if dangerous stunts or morally conflicted documentaries make you uncomfortable.
