Also worth mentioning

The Dawn Wall (2017) Meru (2015) The Alpinist (2021)

The mindset of the people at these extremes is really interesting. Clash of cultures with Magnus Midtbø visiting Honnold was also an interesting watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyya23MPoAI

Missing "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)" here. I thought it was very good but an absolute kick to the stomach.
Thanks for providing the list from a borderline unreadable website.

(FYI King of Kong is listed twice as entries #26 and #42.)

Rivers and Tides is there. I highly recommend it and The Queen of Trees (2005) which is not in the list.
