Free Solo Climber Shines Light on Roanoke | Roanoke News

Jordan Parham, a veteran climber with three decades of experience, is free-soloing the Mill Mountain Star in Roanoke — no ropes, no safety net — to spotlight the region’s outdoor adventures through a new short film. This daring stunt, part of a two-minute featurette, aims to hype up mountain biking and hiking trails while emphasizing that such feats require expert permission and are not for amateurs. Inspired by his award-winning documentary “Catching Pinecones” and encouragement from Alex Honnold, Parham sees this climb as both a personal challenge and a way to elevate Roanoke’s adventurous spirit.
