You're supporting a friend.

It's like no pressure.

It's all really chill.

And so the days that I supported her were all like, you know, I mean, I remember them, but they were just one day throughout a big season where I'd be working on other climbing goals, like all the things that I'm working on.

And it's just like a fun day supporting a friend.

But then I went and watched the movie, and it's like, oh, every time she drives the wall, I'm like, they're supporting her.

And I was like, oh, God, I kind of forgot about all these things like a couple years ago.

That's awesome.

Yeah, it's funny seeing the film.

It's really inspiring.

She was the first woman to do that route in a day, free in a day.

That route's like a harder version of the free rider, the thing that I free soloed in the film Free Solo.

But yeah, I mean, honestly, I think the film does a good job of not trying to portray it as anything more than it is.

I mean, it's a very difficult climbing achievement, but it's not

It doesn't need – it's not the hardest thing ever done.

It's not the first time that – but it's very hard.

And if you watch the film, you see what makes it meaningful is the level of effort that she puts into it.

It's like it's hard for her.

She's a great climber, and she puts a lot into it, a lot of herself into it, and eventually – I don't know.

You know, spoiler, but eventually overcomes and, like, manages to do this thing that's really hard for her.
