What if He Falls? The Terrifying Reality Behind Filming “Free Solo” | Op-Docs

He should change his name to Alex Holdon. =)

Your amazing man and your teams love and support is beyond words.

Real life superhuman

This is hard to watch

Big ups to the crew for being so mindful of the ethics of what they wanted to do and the safety concerns their actions would raise.

I wonder, if there was an agreement, about what would happen if he had died. Would they have published the movie?

You see how deep his voice is? It's because of the high testosterone he has from doing these dangerous stuff in the wild.

Hes the real living Spider-Man

Him and anyone enjoying this need help. Why not have a safety harness.? Stupidity at its best. Get rid of these broken minds and fix the future for out children. I wouldn't even let my children anywhere near this broken way of thinking. Absolutely absurd 🤣

It’s nerve racking to watch. It must be more so for his friends and family.

Those knocking Alex's achievements bringing to bear others with a higher level of daredevilism need to also pay attention to the facts they speak. Those that they compare to Alex so as to show Alex up also fail to show the facts that they also pushed that envelope and paid the ultimate price to their sport! Selfish they were because they also had families. Alex has a family and came close a few times and once just recently almost die. He didn't though! People speak all of the facts when pointing out things or don't say anything at all!

❤

What drives a man to such a task?

Have a blessed year everyone 😊 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

R.I.P

you couldnt pay me enough to do that. It is absolutely insane and incredible that not only could a human do that in an impersonal sense, but that a person could convince themselves to do it. that is truly, not fearing death. People do death defying stunts all the time, but there is always some measure of safety, paramedics, etc. but not here. After about 5 minutes, he was beyond safety.

Bruh.

This is insanity

This man has the biggest and brightest eyes I've ever seen, must be all the adrenaline!

What if he falls? He dies!!!
...This isn't an episode of MacGyver, where Murdoch falls off a mountain and comes back in a future episode still alive.

Death is terrified of Alex.

The dude is insane.. Seek some help

😢

bro think he is miguel O'Hara

If they fall?

It's a happy death

Better to die on your feet then live on your knees

백인이 세계를 지배하는 이유..

One putting one’s life in this type of continuous danger is like mocking god’s precious gift of life all to show a macho attitude and a high adrenaline rush.

Greatness. El Captain Alex!

له من حسابی تو دلم خالی شد اگر جلوی رویم بودی ده تا فحاشی میدادم
مرتیکه که چی بشود

진짜 존경을 넘어 위대하다는 생각밖에 안든다ㄷㄷ

We all die. Makes you wonder how Alex will die. Will it be doing what he loves? Or something else. And should we feel it best it’s something else or doing what he loves?

Why not use drones?

I use to clime, and my hand would never sweat, watching this tho, made my fooking balls sweat. This looks terrifying.

Amazing what they can do with green screens these days.

Honestly this short video is better than the movie.

Nerves of titanium and balls of steel.

he dead 💀

 parents nightmare 😮

What if he falls ?? Seriously

2.59 wtf ...how do you get there

I want to know which route he took to free solo el cap

Breathtaking.

I’m almost scared of him, he’s really showing the true strength of a human being but…he’s terrifying. How is he able to do it?!?!?!

Alex has balls 20 Kgs each, wofffff Respect Alex

Man U gotta strong mentally and physically to do something like this. Man I give it up to him for him to climb that free solo with no ropes man he’s one bad mf.

This is pure insanity. Its beyond sport.

I'm surprised he was able to climb with all the extra weight of his giants Balls!

"What if he falls?"
Um....well....he'd paint the rocks below, I'd imagine.
