00:12Does it feel different to be up there without a rope?
00:15It's obviously, like, a much higher consequence.
00:21People who know a little bit about climbing,
00:23they're like, oh, he's totally safe.
00:25And then people who really know exactly what he's doing
00:29are freaked out.
00:31I've thought about El Cap, like, for years,
00:32and every year, I'm like, that's really scary.
00:35I'll never be content unless I at least put in the effort.
00:42El Cap is the most impressive wall on Earth.
00:46It's 3,200 feet of sheer granite.
00:48It's the center of the rock-climbing universe.
00:51Obviously, I get interview questions about it all the time.
00:53Oh, would you like to do that?
00:54You're like, yes, for sure.
01:00So you're a girlfriend now, I heard.
01:02It was awesome.
01:03It pretty much makes life better in every way.
01:06It's really hard for me to grasp why he wants this.
01:12But if he doesn't do this stuff, he'd regret it.
01:15Everybody who has made free soloing a big part of their life
01:19is dead now.
01:20I haven't been injured in, like, seven years.
01:22I suddenly start getting injured all the time.
01:24What if something happens?
01:27What if I don't see him again?
01:29I could just walk away, but it's like, I don't want to.
01:34I've always been conflicted about shooting a film about free soloing
01:37just because it's so dangerous.
01:38It's hard to not imagine your friend falling through the frame
01:43to his death.
01:45I think when he's free soloing this way,
01:47he feels the most alive, most everything.
01:51How can you even think about taking it away from somebody?
01:56No mistakes tomorrow.
01:59Starting to get kind of psyched.
02:01If you're pushing the edge, eventually you find the edge.
02:10I can't believe you guys are actually going to watch.
02:13Hey, Jimmy, do you copy?
02:14You just started climbing.
