Tommy Caldwell climbing Dawn Wall, El Capitan, Yosemite
Brett Lowell / Red Bull Content Pool
Between the end of 2014 and the start of 2015 Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson made the first free ascent of Dawn Wall on El Capitan in Yosemite Valley, considered to be the hardest big wall climb in the world, while from 14 - 21 November 2016 Adam Ondra pulled off the extremely rapid first repeat. In this virtual encounter the two talk about this immense route, about their climbing in general, about the future of El Cap, Caldwell’s environmental protection efforts, Ondra’s bid for the Olympics and much more. In short, it’s a long chat between two of the very best climbers in the world.
