So, ‘Warren Harding - Recollections of the Wall of the Early Morning Light’ is a bit of a hidden gem, if you can call a climb like the Dawn Wall anything like that. It captures that raw tension of adventure, with Harding and Caldwell battling the elements. The documentary dives deep, not just into the physicality of climbing but the emotional weight of those storms and the pressure from the rescue attempts. You feel the atmosphere, the uncertainty – there's a gritty realism here. It’s all about the human spirit facing insurmountable odds, and the pacing – it builds like a slow ascent, gripping you as it goes. Not every film nails that balance, but this one has a certain edge that makes it distinctive.
