Climbing as a sport is pretty new. 1963 was when the first American climbed Mt. Everest.
This won't give you the chills and excitement that some of the documentaries about modern climbers will give you, but it will give you a similar perspective on what drives climbers of every generation.
This is mostly a story of a man, not a story about climbing.

It's Worth the Watch!
I saw saw Free Solo, and it was really good. This is kinda different. I'm not sure how to review this movie. Watch it, and take the ride. They play it straight, and I think it hits the mark.
