Is it possible to do a climb like the one Tom Cruise does in Grand Canyon in Mission Impossible 2

The famous scene in the movie Mission Impossible 2, where Tom Cruise climbs a sheer rock face in the Grand Canyon, has left many wondering if such a climb is possible in real life. While the exact location of the climb in the movie is fictionalized, there are similar climbs in the Grand Canyon that are extremely challenging but not impossible.

The climb that Tom Cruise does in the movie is a free climb, meaning that he uses no ropes or other equipment for assistance. Free climbing requires a high level of skill, strength, and fitness. The rock face that he climbs is smooth and featureless, making it difficult to find handholds and footholds. The climb also requires a great deal of mental toughness, as it is daunting to look down at the sheer drop below.

While free climbing a route like the one in the movie is possible, it is not something that can be done by everyone. It requires years of training and practice to reach the necessary level of skill. Additionally, the climb is dangerous and should only be attempted by experienced climbers with the proper safety equipment.

Can anyone climb like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 2? No, only highly skilled and experienced climbers can free climb difficult routes like the one in the movie.
Is the climb in the movie based on a real location? No, the exact location is fictionalized, but similar climbs exist in the Grand Canyon.
How long does it take to climb a route like the one in the movie? It can take several hours or even days to complete a difficult free climb.
Is free climbing dangerous? Yes, free climbing is a dangerous activity and should only be attempted by experienced climbers with the proper safety equipment and training.
What is the hardest climb in the Grand Canyon? The hardest climb in the Grand Canyon is debated, but some of the most challenging routes include the Salathe Wall on El Capitan and the Dawn Wall on Half Dome.
