Default The Dawn Wall

Likely the best documentary film I’ve watched ever. It follows the life of climber Tommy Caldwell and how he and Kevin Jorgeson conquered the impossible on El Capitan. Truly worth the watch as it’s a helluva story.

Just watched both The Dawn Wall and Free Solo. Both were good but Free solo is way better with Alex Honnold.

I once conquered a woman named Dawn, a number of months later she put up a wall

I watched this the other night. Great watch. Cant believe how they can use nothing more than a nick in a wall to stick to it like a spider. I cant even make it up my stairs some days.

The climbing activities were worthwhile with the one I knew
