Last night Free Solo won an Oscar! First of all, huge congratulations to @ジミー・チン @chaivasarhelyi @アレックス・オノルド and all of the crew involved. Needless to say, an accomplishment of a lifetime and I know this came with a lot of hard work and perseverance. It is momentous for me to see a climbing film recognized at the highest of high regards.
With all the hype and attention that is sure to come from this I felt it was important for me to speak about the very specific differences between this form of climbing (free soloing) and the approach the vast majority of climbers take to the sport itself.
What Alex does when free solo’ing is by nature, very risky. And while in my career I have had instances where a form of this has been necessary it has also been a choice that came as a last resort and has happened less than a handful of times over my 20 years of climbing.
Free soloing is a style of climbing that a very small percentage of climbers partake in as there is no higher level of risk; life or death. I say all this with the caveat that it is not the sole form of climbing that Alex does.

While I am so excited by the recognition this film has received, I also feel like I have spent a big portion of my career trying to educate people unfamiliar with climbing about our sport. A goal of mine has been to demonstrate that anyone can do it, and that it is a safe and welcoming activity.
In my opinion Alex is one of the greatest climbers of all time to have the capacity to realize all that he has accomplished. However, I also just want to make it clear, which I do feel like this film has done a good job of, the separation that free soloing has from the general form of climbing that I encourage all of you to experience at some point in your life. But when you do, especially if it your first time: Please be sure to seek out guidance from a trained and knowledgeable climber at your local gym or local crag. Take a course in how to enter the spot safely and with the proper training and equipment.
This is an incredible and inclusive sport that, when approached correctly, is safe and fun for everyone. Let’s keep it that way!
That’s my two cents, for whatever it’s worth!
