Free Solo
To climb a mountain one must be
Both confident and fit
And smart enough to know when it
Is time to up and quit.
To climb alone, though, with no ropes,
“Free solo” as they say it,
Has a different type of risk involved,
No matter how you weigh it.
The Oscar-winning film about
One climber’s daring feat
To summit famed El Capitan’s
A cinematic treat.
But watching it, though riveted
At such a show of guts,
I felt both admiration and
Belief that guy is nuts!
