and we're
off I'm treading
lightly my toes are kind of
hurting slightly more pumped than I
would have
liked which is one of the classic ways
to yourself when you're soing
when you're on a quest to redefine
what's humanly possible the line between
Triumph and tragedy is Razor thin I'm
Jimmy chin from Mount Everest to
Antarctica I've had the privilege of
sharing Adventures alongside the world's
most daring
athletes in the pivotal moments when
life hangs in the
balance what drives the greatest
to keep pushing to stare down
fear to risk
everything these are the stories from
the edge of the
unknown to be on the side of a cliff
without a
rope totally untethered you know
free feels pretty freaking next level
free soling is the ultimate test of
climbing that's when it's all on the
line and that's the challenge of doing
something that hasn't been done before
is how do you know that you're
ready I've known Alex hanold for years
he's climbed the biggest walls on the
planet without a
rope pushing the limits of what's
possible
I was there when he free soloed the 3000
ft ALC Capitan in Yus Valley
California this was a climb so
futuristic and Visionary that not even
the top climbers in the world were
daring to think about
it how does someone prepare to do the
impossible I had been dreaming of free
selling OAB forever the psychological
challenge felt so vast
and if you feel really scared thinking
about it then you're you're probably not
prepared
enough I felt that Morocco would be a
perfect practice ground to get one step
closer to freeing
alab Morocco it's off the map no one
would know about it this was a place
where he could test himself both
physically and mentally with a massive
amount of climbing and then he wanted to
free solo one of the big walls at the
end of the trip he knew that the route
that he' chosen would be one of the
greatest big wall free solos in
history I can't wait to S all this stuff
I'm so curious if we can actually make
these walls feel smaller you know
yeah there's baby goats halfway up the
first pitch that's really
cute Tommy was really the only possible
partner for the training that I was
hoping to do in
Morocco we would it's like to climb with
somebody who climbs so fast like so
amazing Tommy is one of the best
climbers in the world when I started
climbing he was already a hero in the
climbing world and I looked up to him my
entire
life I think Alex and I just felt like
if we got together and climbed we could
do stuff that we couldn't do on our own
and from there it evolved into this very
close friendship we're only going to
bring five long and so knowing that he
had this giant objective my role just
became to help him survive essentially
yeah it was one of the on left Tommy
didn't want Alex to free solo but he
knew that Alex was going to go do it
anyways so Tommy decides that the best
way that he can support his friend is to
train with
him doing something that dangerous is
really about having full confidence that
you will be successful
