NBCIt sounds like the American dream come true: last night 33-year-old rock climber Isaac Caldiero shot to fame in the USA by becoming the first American to win the NBC summer reality competition series American Ninja Warrior. In the previous 6 seasons of the show no competitor had ever got past stage 3 but in Monday's three-hour season finale something occurred that had never happened before: two climbers qualified for Stage 4, Caldiero and 36-year-old Geoff Britten.
Demonstrating incredible upper body strength and superb hand-eye coordination both completed the course and the 75 foot rope climb, but although Britten did so first, Caldiero won the grand prize having climbed 3.6 seconds faster.

Caldiero, from Salt Lake City, Utah, has numerous first ascents to his name, in particular in Moe's Valley where his Force of Nature (V14) stands out as one of desert’s hardest.
