Free Solo is a 2018 documentary directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, following climber Alex Honnold's preparation for and eventual completion of a free solo ascent, meaning without ropes or safety equipment, of the nearly three-thousand-foot face of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. The filmmakers, themselves experienced climbers, spent years documenting Honnold's training and psychology alongside the technical planning of the climb, a feat widely regarded within the climbing community as one of the most dangerous ever attempted. Free Solo won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and is widely regarded as a landmark of adventure and sports documentary filmmaking.
