Tommy Caldwell Climbing Pitch 15 | The Dawn Wall

On January 14, 2015, Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson made the first free ascent of The Dawn Wall on Yosemite s El Capitan. Watch Tommy climb pitch 15 (5.14c) in this first footage released by the film crew on the wall. “The crux holds of pitch 15 are some of the smallest and sharpest holds I have ever attempted to hold onto,” Tommy wrote on his Facebook page. Four unique camera angles reveal those minuscule holds and the 1,300 feet of exposure under Tommy’s precarious foot placements. While multiple pitches of extremely difficult climbing remained above, the completion of pitch 15 was considered the last major hurdle to the eventual success of this seven-year project. Note: Pitch 15 was originally rated 5.14d, but was downgraded slightly after the completion of the route.

Patagonia deep-water soloing

Climbing at the end of the world - the deep-water soloing competition known as Red Bull Psicobloc, is a unique event held on the southern tip of Chile, in the isolated region of Patagonia. Deep-water soloing, also known as psicobloc, is rock climbing carried out directly over water and without safety harnesses, meaning just the slightest slip sends the climber tumbling into the sea below.
