Alex Honnold, the world-renowned rock climber documented in the Oscar-winning film Free Solo, is up to some more death-defying adventures.
The two-part virtual reality documentary Alex Honnold: The Soloist VR, set for release March 3, follows the California native on solo ascents on two continents, “in some of the most remote and wildest locations possible.” The documentary from Jonathan Griffith Productions will be distributed on Oculus TV and available on Meta Quest VR headsets.
“The film is the result of two years of meticulous planning and crafting of the VR experience from Jonathan Griffith, the award-winning producer of Everest VR: Journey to the Top of the World,” noted a release. “In the film, Griffith employed the latest in high resolution 3D 360°… He purposefully kept the film as raw as possible to use the power of VR to bring the viewer into the scene in an authentic way.”
Griffith has gained considerable experience on mountain climbing films, including his Everest VR documentary, The Alpinist (2021), and the Reel Rock TV series.
“After seeing how audiences were enthralled by Alex in Free Solo, we thought that VR could bring people even closer to being on the wall with Alex as he continues to push the boundaries of the sport and human achievement,” Griffith said in a statement. “Alex Honnold: The Soloist VR brings an unprecedented engaging experience combining the unique immersion of VR with Alex’s gripping adventures for a truly unique viewing experience.”
The VR film is broken into two episodes:
“In Episode 1 of Alex Honnold: The Soloist VR, viewers begin by getting to know Honnold, before following him to Yosemite National Park, home of the famed El Capitan, and Red Rocks. Viewers are then brought to Europe where
