Free Solo is the documentary about climber Alex Honnold attempting to climb El Capitan — a 3,000-foot rock wall — with no rope.I watched it last night and it did that thing great films do: you don’t just enjoy it, you start auditing your own life. Not dramatically — just noticing I was still tense afterwards, like my body was holding onto the consequences. Because it’s not really a film about climbing. It’s about consequence — and the choice to move forward when there’s no second chance.As cyclists, that lands close. We obsess over control in tiny details, yet accept familiar risks without thinking. This episode is about getting honest: separating performance risk from consequence risk, spotting the “uncertainty stack,” and making smarter decisions before luck runs out.Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.roadmancycling.com/2026⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for Not Done Yet.
