Celebrated as one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind, Honnold’s climb set the ultimate standard: perfection or death. Succeeding in this challenge places his story in the annals of human achievement. An inspiring portrait of an athlete on a quest to triumph over the impossible, revealing the personal toll of excellence.

The film beautifully captures the death-defying climb with masterful, vertigo-inducing camerawork. See the film as it was intended, on the big screen.
