From Wikipedia:
"Free Solo is a 2018 American documentary film directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin. The film profiles rock climber Alex Honnold, on his quest to perform a free solo climb of El Capitan in June 2017. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on August 31, 2018 and also screened at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the People's Choice Award: Documentaries. It was released in the United States on September 28, 2018. The film received positive reviews and has grossed over $12 million."
Either way not something I'd do by both people , some people have no fear and adrenaline junkies and good luck to them . but yes guess a walk in the park was a bit harsh and wrong kind of words
