Of course we all know that the greatest free solo climber of all time is............... Mike Tyson.

I watched the Doc ¨free solo¨ and it was one of the most riveting pieces of cinema I have seen in a long time. People that do things like that dont think in the same way the rest of us do. it is truly amazing. ¨the dawn wall¨ is another good climbing doc, but not as intense as free solo as ropes were involved.

In my opinion nothing on the fields of play can equal that kid and his free solo climb of the El Capitan

I saw that documentary. I agree with perkdog. Nothing and absolutely nothing in sports is even remotely close
to what that kid did.
