If you’re looking for something good to watch today and you’re suffering from football fatigue like me, watch this on Netflix. If you liked Free Solo, you’ll love this. One of the most beautifully-shot films I’ve ever seen. And Marc-Andre Leclerc makes Alex Honnold look like an amateur at certain points.

I watched it a couple weeks ago. Not impressed. Free climbing ice with pick axes is for novices.

I watched it last night. It is definitely worth watching. Only criticism was that he supposedly went off by himself to climb but they had video footage. I assume it was from different climbs but they made it feel like it was whatever climb that they were talking about.

We quit NetfIx 2 or 3 years ago, when they produced the blasphemous movie, Last Temptation of Christ, portraying Christ as a homosexual. Haven’t watched anything on Netflix since.

My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light!

Same vein. 14 Peaks is great. And since I love Free Solo/Dawn Wall/Alpinist/etc, here is a suggestion for you if you haven't. Disney+/'The Rescue'. It is all about the cave rescue of that teen soccer team in Thailand. Hell, I knew the ending and it was still incredible.
