If my memory serves me right, the film they made won the BANF Film festival a couple of years ago.

 

Edit: For those who don't know, El Capitan is a rock face in Yosimite in the USA. It is a sheer face almost the height of Table Mountain and a lot of conventional climbers do it in 2 days, climbing halfway up, sleeping on a portable ledge and climbing the 2nd half the next day. Alex free climb the whole thing in a few hours. Despite what some may think, he is not a daredevil or reckless at all. He is an incredibly talented, calculated and scientific climber who trains and prepares in the extreme. Will I do that, even if I could? Hell no! Not over my dead body!

True.

Except that he is absolutely bonkers!

Makes you wonder when was the first time a photo was taken? I mean the quality isn't half bad then already. Some people take worse photos than that with new stuff.

Think around the 1830's, but was a major production with large fixed cameras, silver nitrate glass plates and loooong exposures.  Long time before we got to small portable cameras and celluloid film.

you mean when a photographer was a professional, and not just a person who bought a high res digital camera

Thanks, very interesting read.

Off topic, How do you do that thing where you name the link something and it goes blue? Instead of just posting the full link.
