When the film won the Oscar, I was struck by the difference between the subject of the documentary - a man who climbs rock walls of thousands of feet high with no safety net or ropes, the possibility of his death a microsecond away at every second, his sheer physical ability and unbelievable mental strength to conquer his fear while doing it - and the other award winners who emote or direct for a living and think it's somehow oh so important.

The difference between riding a Big Wheel and winning the Tour de France.

The guy who pretends he’s a conservative for the NY Times and MSNBC calls Trump a BS artist? Hmmm...

I noticed that opening statement right off the bat. Unfortunately the comments section is closed.

Typical left wing bigot who just can't help but inject his personal politics into an otherwise decent essay.........But it is the NY Times......

With that being said, I saw that climb on cable maybe a week ago and I'm telling you that was spellbinding..........

With no muscular bulk, I marvel at the strength in his hands and forearms that literally allows to him hang by his finger tips.......Wow!
