Has anyone watched “The Dawn Wall” on Netflix?! Wow. Finest documentary I have ever seen. It’s about an amazing free climb on El Capitan in Yosemite. An absolutely phenomenal story about the human spirit. As runners, you will also appreciate it. It really blew me away. Tommy Caldwell is my new hero and such a lovely human being. 💪

Highly recommended viewing. 😁

Happy running, buddies.

I do have Netflix, Sadie, my daughter gave it free to me as a "Friend, a package of 4" I'll look out for that.

Oh I would love to visit Yosemite! It looked stunning in the documentary, Millsie. And you saw climbers? Brilliant. (I must say, climbing gives people amazing physiques!)

Ps my son and my daughter are climbers... but I would utterly go into Mum-mode if they said they were climbing El Cap 🤪🤪🤪

Understandable! 😱

I saw it too and agree with every word! I've recommended to my work colleagues and a few running mates. As you say, it's in the same spirit. I've also booked the whole family into the localv indoor climbing arena for a wee taster session, not that I'm a convert 😂

Mountain Dreamer has got to have tuned in also, she's our resident climber! Xx

Oh yes, I thought of MD when I watched this!

Exciting that you and the family are going to try climbing. I am pondering it myself. Great for all round body strength! xxx

Yes it is a brilliant doc. If you liked this you’ll probably really also like “Free Solo” if you’ve not seen it already.

But you know he’s ok at the end, so you can have that assurance 😊. There is one other Netflix climbing film called “Valley Uprising” which chronicles the 50 year rock climbing history in Yosemite. Its on my watch list.

Oh I’ll be sure to add that to my watch list, too. Cheers Decker!
