If you're not afraid of heights (or maybe if you are):
- Free Solo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Solo
- Man on Wire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_on_Wire
And one with the greatest ever road cyclist in the greatest one day race:
- A Sunday in Hell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Sunday_in_Hell
Personally, regarding Free Solo and the amygdala shenanigans, "Meru" is an even better one.
Tl;dr is three guys go up a mountain, fail, one of them cracks a skull in the meantime, and then they make another attempt...
