I already touched this on an earlier post, but if you missed it, I'll explain it briefly: Recently I found clips of this guy called Alex Honnold in Youtube about his incredible performance: free soloing (climbing without any safety equipment) the 975 meters (3200 ft) tall cliff, El Capita in Yosemite Natural Park in the US.
I happened to tell about this to my dad, and he said that "there's actually some commercial on National Geographic about some sort of climbing movie." I saw it, and it was exactly the same thing I was talking about: The Free Solo documentary.
This is probably the first time in years that I'm hyped to sit in front of a TV which I have completely ignored for years, because there's rarely anything of real substances. But when there's something this good, I'm willing to make an exception. Btw, the film won an Oscar for best documentary, which wasn't surprising at all already based on the clips I've seen.
So if there are any fellow Finns with some spare time this evening, turn on National Geographic today at 21:00 (don't know if/when it's broadcasted in other countries). It's also coming again just few hours later after midnight at 00:30 – which is rather strange – and for the third time it's broadcasted on the following Sunday at 17:10.
If you're not convinced this is some good stuff, just look at the trailer yourself.
It has also been a long time since i watched on tv last. Steemit has majorly occupies most of my time nowadays

Thankfully he must survive because they wouldn't show the documentary if he died, so I might even think about following this. Two of my cousins are serious climbers, and the one who is a park ranger in California fell 30 feet onto rocks, with direct head shot on a rock, last Fall. She almost died and had lots of trauma. She wants to climb again, but I'm not sure if her brain injury will let her. I'm not sure what it is, but these people are so passionate about this stuff no matter what the risks.

Ouch, lucky she survived, that's a long way down.
Definitely check the documentary if you can.

It was a great documentary. I was able to go through without an anxiety attack because I already experienced the biggest shock via Youtube :D
