Try watching "The Alpinist". Just as good, just as insane.

  15 minutes in I was thinking "this guy can't still be alive"

    I had the additional context of knowing he was already dead going into it (there's a crag in Squamish named in tribute to him). What I didn't expect was that he died on a non-solo climb he was doing, while descending, in an avalanche. Which is the same risk any high-altitude alpinist takes.

  A lot more insane, even Alex thought the guy was crazy. Extremely talented, but crazy.
