Of Choss & Lions

Alex Honnold and Cedar Wright head to Kenya’s remote Mt. Poi in Of Choss & Lions, a fast-moving expedition film from The North Face that blends big-wall ambition with backcountry misadventures. Chasing new lines on one of Africa’s largest walls, the duo navigate sketchy rock, unpredictable terrain, and the kind of travel chaos that turns a straightforward climbing trip into a full-on sufferfest—equal parts grit, banter, and “character building.” What makes this one worth your time is the mix: genuine first-ascent stakes, sweeping East African scenery, and two climbers who refuse to take themselves too seriously even when the climbing gets serious. Expect sharp humor alongside real problem-solving on questionable stone, plus the satisfying arc of watching a wild objective become a climbable reality through persistence, partnership, and a willingness to embrace the absurd.

Two of America’s boldest rock climbers and self-proclaimed fashionistas, Alex Honnold & Cedar Wright, travel to Kenya’s Mt. Poi. The guys dodge choss, wild animals and general debauchery to claim ascents of Africa’s biggest big wall. It’s, uh, character building.
