I recently went through a climbing movie phase and I am not a climber.

I want to recommend the movie Valley Uprising (2014). It's a feel good doc about the history and legends of climbers that have inhabited the valley and how the culture evolved to what it is today.

Another recommendation of a movie about a climber that is even more extreme than Honnold is The Alpinist.

Only other heavy hitter I haven't seen mentioned here yet is Meru.

12 Peaks was also pretty good but a lot less about climbing.

Just finished watching 14 peaks and the JRE episode, parallelly. It was amazing but they should make a series, 14 ascents is a lot for a single movie. Nims is a cool dude.

Think i saw Meru around the time Free Solo came out. Might give it a second go.

Yeah I’ve dug into pretty much every climbing movie I could find at this point.
