"Free Solo"

"Free Solo" refers to the act of climbing alone without any ropes, harnesses, or safety equipment, relying solely on the climber’s skill, strength, and mental focus. It’s a high-risk form of ascent often undertaken on challenging rock faces or mountains. The term highlights the absence of protective gear, making the climb extremely dangerous if a mistake occurs. The documentary "Free Solo" showcases Alex Honnold’s daring attempt to scale El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without ropes, emphasizing mental resilience and precise execution in extreme sports.
