Rest in peace Brad Gobright. My heart stopped when I saw him on the screen.

My man the Hud. So proud to see him getting after it so long after we did the Salathe together in 1974. A couple of the stills in this film I took with my old Nikormat on that, our first trip up the Big Stone. I'm honered that they editors choose to use those shots to tell this fabulous story.

Thanks for including Brad in this film. What a wonderful surprise that put tears in my eyes

When he started crying at the top and they just held each other. That was so amazing and really touched me! That’s the true climbing spirit right there.

Man, the climbing culture has got to be one of the most laid back groups of people I’ve ever seen

i will go as far as to say that this is the best film about climbing the Freerider

Like watching 2 anime characters. Mark: The old hyped up geezer Jordan: The cool collected and strategic guy who always pulls up his glasses like a badass.

One of the best climbing film ever for sure. Actually one of the best film ever regardless the climbing. These two are real gentlemen, in every way, showing so much humility despite extraordinary achievments. My total respect. Well done arcteryx for supporting an unorthodox story that carries many essential life lessons.

“As Free As Can Be” would definitely be an epic inscription on your tombstone

This was spectacular! I love not only their amazing friendship, but the support they give each other on the rock. I was rock climber for 23 years and had to give it up due to a painful foot condition. I miss it every day, so watching this video really hit deep in my soul. As we age, we cannot do the things we did in our youth, at least not to the same extent. I totally understand why Mark got emotional at the summit. Bravo Mark and Jordan!

I am a 60+ average climber. 30+ years. This gave me hope of my climbing future.❤

What a great pair- loved this!

I love that at the very top when belaying the follower Mark uses a grigri and Jordan uses a friggin hip belay! Rubbing off on each other I guess haha.

I honor another old Sierra climber: Reggie Donatelli. Reggie put up First, Second, and First Winter Ascents throughout the Sierras in the 50's and 60's, notably First Winter Ascent of Mt. Morrison. I worked with him at a long time sporting goods store at Lake Tahoe, The Outdoorsman. He was also small of stature but great in Spirit. We went climbing together, skiing together, and played volleyball on the beach together when he was in his late '60s. RIP Reggie. ( & Bob!)

In college, I was good friends with Todd Skinner and Paul Piana, who did what is generally acknowledged as the first free ascent of El Cap. We were all climbing geeks, like Jordan, and two of our favorite articles in Climbing magazine were about the free climbing exploits of Mark and Max - I think the articles were titled "The Art of the States" and "The State of the Art," or something like that. Now Todd and Paul generated their share of controversy, but that is not of concern to me. Several years ago I got a mountain bike shuttle at Lake Tahoe, and our driver was Max Jones! (He owns the shuttle company.) After all the riders got their bikes and left, I mentioned to Max that I had been friends with Todd, and that we were great admirers of he and Mark. Max told me that had met Todd and the two of them had a great conversation. He seemed to be a gracious and humble man, as Mark appears to be, as well. Hats off to them!

It's amazing how they each gave the other the greatest gift possible: the Jordan's time according to Mark; and Mark as Jodan's hero inspiring him. Great story!

Best climbing video I’ve seen in a while. Thank you. This made my day.

The heart of a climber. Congratulations Mark, you earned it twice!

20:00 The fact that Alex Honnold did that move without a rope is so insane

Respect...it takes a lot of commitment, stamina and a good dose of craziness to do that at 60+. He has my total admiration!!

Agree with everyone here, this is the best, loveliest, most inspiring climbing doco I've ever seen. So much love for those two.

WE WANT MORE JORDAN CANNON CONTENT!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a beautiful gift to all climbers. Jordan's skills as a climber are far outweighed by his love of the sport and his appreciation for those who paved the way for him. Not to mention his compassion and support for Mark.

Talk about a great friendship. I appreciated them sharing their authenticity about the route.

When Mark was climbing the hardest route (at the time) in the world at 5.13, I was happy to do 5.9/10a at the same age. Today I'm climbing 5.13, with a target of 14a. Climbing is an awesome lifetime sport. Pace yourself accordingly.

THIS is what I am talking about….ha ha ha old timer here in my 60’s - this is awesome

wow, had tears in my eyes. What an incredible pair of humans. This is what climbing is about

As a NOLS instructor at age 67, I could totally understand this film. WAY to go you two and Acteryx. i don't climb as hard as Mark these days, but have the same inspiratiion to climb the Cassin Ridge on Denali as he had. Anyone what to drag my ass up the Cassin Sam Samuelson

I try my best to repeat the 'Nothing could be finer' song every time I go climbing. Mark rules.

I laughted, I cried, I've been inspired, how much better can a climbing movie be?

This is one of my favorite climbing documentaries ever. So so good.

That is the best climbing, heartfelt, full on movie EVER! Thank you all who made this happen! Warmly, Gabriel

❤ love your respect for history and tradition. From the UK with most of my climbing in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Highlands, the Alps & a couple of Karakoram trips tradition and history wherever you are, be it trad climbing, iced, mixed, alpine, big wall, sea cliff are your everyday companions & guides. I love the culture of different areas and the universal love of all citizens living their best life vertical (&/or surfing stick/lid, foot launching a speedwing, furkling about underground or messing with kites).

What total sweethearts. They both get that it's not about the grade, but about the climb together

This is such a beautiful story. Thanks so much for including us fellas!

damn it. this is some of the most wholesome stuff i’ve seen in a long time.

Jordan is Marks hero. Mark is Jordans hero. Anyone who's seen this video clearly knows that their both heroes!

“These guys keep peeing on us” 😂 I’d never thought that was a thing that could happen 😂

What a great movie!!! Inspiration and fun. Really love this movie. Thank you for sharing!

Great seeing a new school crusher in Jordan teaming up with a true legend in mark. Keep crushing!!

One of the greatest climbing films i’ve ever seen. Thank you!

Fantastic film about climbing! Plus this video shows what Honnold did at Boulder problem!!!! But I would like to say I know one Hungarian climber who is 65 years old and he is climbing on top level routs. (maybe Arc'teryx should make a film about him) It's a great honor to climb next to him. That Hungarian climbers what I know they don't let to make videos about themselves . One of them is at El Capitan right now. (Hungary has no even a mountain :) )

Nice edit and arc. The way stories are supposed to be told. Really like the finish music- like desert for the ears.

What a fantastic little gem. The journey of climbing encapsulated. As for the slip at 20:05... terrifying with Free Solo in the back of your mind.

I don't even know how many times I've watched this now but it's easily ones of my favorite films and docs I've ever seen

What a wonderful duo and story! Friendship, history, top-notch climbing, sober filming & editing... Has this video documented the essence of climbing in its purest form? One of my all-time favourite climbing videos. Congrats Mark, Jordan, Arcteryx!

Brilliant! Best climbing movie ever!

oh man, I‘ve watched this movie so many times now… I still tear up at 24:00 every. single. time.

Actually one of the best and most inspiring documentaries I've ever watched.

what a gem of a film.

This is the most beautiful climbing story I could ever even imagine. Thank you.

One of the most amazing climbing films. Great to see them learn from each other and create the bond they now share.

That was killer! It puts in in perspective that Honnold free soloed this route.

I have never climbed rock but this mad me so happy

Holy crap! A most amazing and inspirational story. Thank you for allowing me to join you to be as Free as Can Be! Such a great film in a pure form. Love you guys!

YEEHARJUSTFREAKINWOW!! That's a bloody good film!!! What a beautiful friendship. That's two good men right there world. Thanks to everyone involved with a huge shout out to the crew! 🤘🤘🤘The best climbing film for me this year by far.

My favorite climbing movie of all time. What a great story. :)

This is the coolest film. Well done Arc'teryx! Mark is an inspiration to old folks worldwide. A senior citizen devoting a year to freeing El Cap is pretty f-ing cool! Inspires me to go back in my 60's and try the couple of things I wish I'd finished in my 20's.

MAN !! I Love climbing videos, the dirt bags, living the valley dream...I love youcall so much brother's and sisters...to the heart of big wall climbing , from the heart of Wales, U.K.. legends have climbed in my beautiful country Peaks...the heart of a climber...what a privilege to FEEL your ascent Mark, to its emotional waterfall conclusion at the top anchor of Freerider...you rock my friend...just wish I'd had sone time on those legendary routes...TO CLIMBING ❤🍺🐐🕷🦥

that was really sweet, fantastic show

What a fantastic way to end that with Jordan holding Mark as they sing haha.

My goodness, that was wholesome! Amazing friendship, amazing journey!

Great film! Thank you!

That was just beautiful! Pure beauty!

such a beautiful documentary. Respect to the. legends for doing it

So... beautiful these two guys are. I mean the age gap, still, the adventure, their friendship, and again, the age gap 🙂so amazing!

It's not the goal, it's the journey. Obtaining the goal is only one nano-second in time.

Beautiful movie!

This is was such a great film! And I loved the friendship they created. Definitely one of my new favorites. Thank you for creating this wonderful story.

Awesome movie! thanks for sharing!

Two wonderful souls.

What a great story and an amazing bond! Well done!

Simply awe inspiring!!

Such a great story. THANK YOU for making this. ❤

The part where they held each other really touched me. Really brought tears to my eyes, so sweet

Loved it! I don’t even climb. I enjoy the scenery and decent humanity! Great job guys

Outstanding! I am not a climber currently, but the community, the friendship here, helping a person through their struggles and failures, continuing to believe in them... This deserves the awards and these friends deserve each other.

This was so refreshing and uplifting

Wow….pura inspiración de los grandes personajes de nuestro deporte. Free as can be!

So awesome thanks for sharing for free
