Description
For this podcast, I met Alex in Yosemite Valley in the midst of his whirlwind media tour to hype his new film, 'Free Solo.'

In addition to discussing how 'Free Solo' came together, we also cover the magic of #vanlife, the inherent danger of rockfall in Yosemite, and the future of free soloing.
