So they basically in the film, they just cut the two together as like because it shows me like.
being really scared
to start
yeah so half dome for anyone who hasn't seen is uh is this just totally amazing wall in yosemite it's a 2000 foot granite face actually uh it's the north face logo it's a it's freaking it's that's half dome okay yeah so it's like an iconic wall in yosemite um
It looks like half of a dome, but actually it's more like a hockey puck just shoved in.
It's actually a full dome, depending how you look at it.
But the northwest face is vertical for 2,000 feet.
It's incredible.
And so I free soled.
That was one of the first major free solos I did in 2008.
And one of the things that sort of made me a professional climber in a way.
But when I did the climb, I did the bare minimum preparation.
I basically didn't know.
It was the biggest thing I'd ever free soloed.
I didn't quite know how to go by getting ready for it.
Anyway, I climbed it and basically hadn't practiced enough, was really freaking scared, got off route, got confused, skipped some stuff, and then at the very top had this whole moment of,
extreme panic you know basically i got up in some stuff and all sort of like crumbled mentally and like sort of barely managed to finish this upper slab like the hardest part of the climb was like right near the top i was trying to walk across this ledge basically i've walked across that ledge face in and face out and you normally people hand traverse it or they crawl across it they're like different ways to go across the ledge and i've done it every which way
And then we were up there filming and I was like, oh, I'm going to walk and face out.
But it turns out when you walk and face out, it's really freaking scary.
And so I made it kind of halfway and was like, oh my gosh, and then bailed.
