Yosemite’s El Capitan is a 32,000 ft wall of sheer granite and the centre of the rock climbing universe.

Naturally, this poses something of a challenge for Alex Honnold, the world’s most accomplished free solo climber. So he decides to scale it without a safety rope. The suitably nerve-shredding Free Solo follows him as he sets out to achieve his lifelong dream.
