Along with The Dawn Wall and Free Solo, this is my favourite climbing film. It's special because it gives as much coverage to the culture of climbing in Yosemite over the years as it does to the climbing. The characters of the people who have come and gone over the years are as well-presented as their climbing feats, including some who didnt climb at all, such as the enigmatic Chongo Chuck. The filming is imaginative and colourful, including great use of montages and FX. Above all its a breathtaking evocation of the human spirit and freedom. Absolutely great film I could watch time and time and time again.
