Today a bunch of drones would be sufficient I guess?

  Way more disturbing for the climber. Also, it's not always just about the end result.

  The movie is only a few years old, so drones were already a solution back then. They did not use them because of the noise. Being filmed while climbing was already disturbing for Alex, so drones making a lot of noise was a no go.

  Prohibited in Yosemite, maybe all National Parks. This doesn't stop everyone though.

    It’s possible to get a filming permit for one. There is a drone shot near the end of Free Solo.

  They talked about using drones for his free solo documentary, but Alex was concerned about the noise being a distraction and causing him to fall off.
