Free Solo premieres in town
Watch famed climber Alex Honnold perform one of the greatest athletic feats in history.
Honnold became the most popular climber in the world after climbing El Capitan — without a rope.
While it’s been receiving extensive play all over the world, Free Solo, which documented his efforts, hasn’t yet played in Squamish.
However, some locals have taken it upon themselves to bridge that gap.
As a result, there will be paid screenings at The Common over the weekend.
The Dec. 15 the show at 7:30 p.m. has been sold out, but tickets are still available for the second screening on Dec. 16 at 4 p.m.
