In January 2015, American rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson
\ncaptivated the world with their effort to climb The Dawn Wall, a seemingly
\nimpossible 3,000-foot rock face in Yosemite National Park, California.<\/p>\n
The pair lived on the sheer vertical cliff for weeks, igniting a frenzy of
\nglobal media attention.<\/p>\n
But for Tommy Caldwell, The Dawn Wall was much more than just a climb. It was
\nthe culmination of a lifetime defined by overcoming obstacles. At the age of
\n22, the climbing prodigy was taken hostage by rebels in Kyrgyzstan. Shortly
\nafter, he lost his index finger in an accident but resolved to come back
\nstronger. When his marriage fell apart, he escaped the pain by fixating on the
\nextraordinary goal of free climbing The Dawn Wall.<\/p>\n
Blurring the line between dedication and obsession, Caldwell and his partner
\nJorgeson spend six years meticulously plotting and practicing their route. On
\nthe final attempt, with the world watching, Caldwell is faced with a moment of
\ntruth. Should he abandon his partner to fulfill his ultimate dream, or risk
\nhis own success for the sake of their friendship? <\/p>\n
