Anyone interested in watching this like I am? Honnold is, no pun intended (well, OK, maybe some), the rock star of climbing -- in particular because he's widely considered the greatest free solo climber alive (alive being the key word obviously).
Some of the NatGeo specials, and 60 minute type specials have focused on him over the past 6-8 years, but Free Solo is supposedly the real deal and I've heard the visuals (some of which we get a glimpse of in the trailer, but not for long) are impressive. It's also supposedly a great insight into the feelings of those around him, from his family to his girlfriend, to Jimmy Chin and the guys who film him with the full understanding that they could film his death.
