What Alex did is amazing, and I enjoyed watching him climbing, but when you're hearing that it's BAFTA nominated and being shown in cinemas, that sets high expectations - I watch very few documentaries so perhaps it really is much better than most. `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Yeah, that's a good point - it could have easily dehumanised/deified him, but it kept him relatable and grounded.

Two other Yosemite-based climbing films are The Dawn Wall and Valley Uprising, I've been told they are different but both worth watching.

It's a cracker. By no means pacey, and of its time, but bloody good. "We all have flaws, and mine is being wicked." James Thurber, The Thirteen Clocks 1951 www.mynameislegion.org
