consider these notes the trailer, and watch the whole thing

alex says, there are times you shouldn't trust, but this is a time where you can basically trust

the climb gets intense, even alex needs his hands magnus: this is nice and all, but i'm never doing this again

magnus: i hope it continues like this, otherwise you might have to call a rescue alex: don't fall victim to what's ahead or behind, just do the move in front of you

you hear muffled words from alex, but up here, there are no words

this high up, there's only wind, and dread

the end is nearing now, the mood is light — magnus says, this better get a lot of views alex deadpans: well, it's on how well you edit

magnus says it helps having alex talking, alex says it helps being with someone, having a good time magnus says i'd never do this by myself, alex says totally true, it'd be way too scary there's something here — about doing hard things, and about having someone bear witness

at the top magnus says, that was more scary than i thought alex says, but you didn't die also magnus: *almost falls off the mountain*

i believe the pursuit of excellence is worthy, and when you choose to try, you get to play to win it's true of human achievement, and of bravery, and it's as true at work as it is at home in marriages, and parenting

we all want to do hard things, but (usually) we have a lot less at stake sometimes we make them harder, to make them epic

more on playing to win

You need to watch this:

The way Alex always strikes you as having a lot of sadness in him. It was true in the Free Solo film and can see it here. Want someone to just hug him tight.

This is an incredible video. Oscar worthy. Better than anything that has come out of Hollywood in years. The way we get to see this world through magnus.

3:06 Alex: I mostly climb by myself because all my partners have either died or retired Magnus:

yes

When I first saw this I cried at the end. Couldn't help it.
