Jimmy Chin and E. Chai Vasarhelyi Win Oscar For Free Solo

Admittedly, we don't always watch the Oscars in full, but when a film from a friend and fellow Jackson local wins one, we’re pretty stoked! Congratulations to Jimmy Chin, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Alex Honnold for winning the Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary last night. Honnold even got a custom-tailored tux courtesy of the North Face to wear on stage. Looks great on him. And c’mon Jimmy, watch your language, you’re on national television! 

Actor Jason Momoa (also famously a rock climber and adventurer) presented the crew with their trophy. What's next for Honnold and Chin, another crazy climbing film?
