About The Devil’s Climb:

  • The Devil’s Climb follows the journey of elite rock climbers Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell as they embark on a formidable expedition to conquer the notorious Devil’s Thumb.
  • This 9,000-foot peak in the Alaskan wilderness, enveloped by ancient rainforest, is recognized as one of the most dangerous mountains in North America, presenting a significant challenge in their climbing careers.
  • Alex and Tommy are renowned as two of the greatest rock climbers in history and are also best friends.
  • They embark on a journey, covering 2,600 miles by bicycle, sailboat, and on foot across the American West, Canada, and Alaska, culminating in an ambitious ascent of the Devil’s Thumb.
  • Tommy, recognized as a trailblazer in the sport and a significant inspiration for Alex, views this expedition as an opportunity to stage a remarkable comeback following a career-threatening Achilles injury, which casts doubt on the expedition's success.
  • For Alex, this ascent represents one of the most incredible adventures of his life, reflecting his determination to accomplish the extraordinary and his dedication to supporting Tommy's return to climbing.
  • The duo shares a deep history of adventurous speed climbing and a record-setting collaboration.

More from Alex Honnold:

  • The National Geographic film went on to win Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards.
  • Free Solo can be streamed on Disney+.
