The filmmakers all befriended Alex over their time together, so the film cuts to shots of their reactions any time their reached an extra dangerous spot only adding to the tension. There are glimpses into Honnold’s personal life including his girlfriend Sanni McCandless who is the complete opposite of him, yet their relationship works.
