    If you haven’t yet watched the Oscar winner for ‘Best Documentary Feature’, Free Solo, you need to get on that.

    Be warned, though, you will more than likely experience vertigo and some slight nausea.

    The same cannot be said for free climber Matt Bush, a South African who clearly doesn’t suffer from a fear of heights.

    Let’s set this one with the help of SA People:

    The video follows the journey of 34-year-old Matt, who moved from the city to Cederberg to pursue his passion for climbing.

    The mini-documentary was shot by Luke Bell and Hloni Coleman. Luke told SAPeople: “The video speaks for itself. It was shot 100% on an iPhone for the Moment 2019 Film Festival.”

    The inspiration to climb probably began when Matt was just four and his father took him on his first climb up the slopes of Table Mountain. But it was only when he was at high school, at 17, that he discovered rock climbing after a friend invited the Capetonian to climb on Table Mountain…

    Matt’s now been climbing for 15 years and is well known amongst the elite (and incredibly brave) group of free solo climbers in the world. He says the best strategies for minimising fear are breathing, positive affirmations and visualisation.

    I’ll watch from down here if you don’t mind:

    Shot entirely on an iPhone, which is pretty mad, and not a rope in sight.

    If you’re after more of Matt’s free climbing, with plenty of familiar scenery, here’s a short video from last year:
