Note this isn't the same climb as the "Free Solo" movie, and while Alex Honnold climbed much of the street view climb without ropes he (and the other climbers he was with) did use ropes in part. See eg https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7297919,-119.6368427,2a,75y,... (and you can follow his beta up the climb!)

Also the stories of these climbs are great: https://blog.google/products/maps/vertical-street-view-of-wo... and https://www.google.com.au/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/stree...

My favorite bit is the picture of Lynn Hill on the Jardine Traverse: https://www.google.com.au/maps/about/behind-the-scenes/stree...
