Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Boulder Problem' crux was so difficult that Honnold had previously fallen there over 60 times with ropes — making his ropeless success statistically absurd.
Free soloing divides climbers: some see Honnold as inspiration, others as reckless. The film accidentally sparked a 'daredevil tourism' boom in Yosemite that veteran climbers despised.
