The Dawn Wall (2017)

 
Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Josh Lowell and Peter Mortimer
Starring: John Branch, Tommy Caldwell, Kevin Jorgeson
Running time: 100 minutes

 


This documentary chronicles the trek undertaken in January 2015 by rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson to free climb the 3,000 feet of The Dawn Wall, of the El Capitan mountain, in Yosemite National Park. It was an arduous undertaking that had never been done before.

This is a brilliant documentary film. The subject matter is interesting and inspiring. On top of the amazing climb, it was cool to learn more about Tommy Caldwell’s life story. The guts and determination that man has. The images shot and used in this documentary are often breathtaking. I highly recommend this story of perservance.
