Kevin Jorgeson - Tommy Caldwell

Using only your hands and feet to climb the downright scary 3,000-foot granite wall in California’s Yosemite National Park, is it even humanly possible? If ever you could pick a time for someone to pull it off, you might want to pick this very moment. Vicious winds, bitter cold and split fingertips – not to mention the ever-present threat of low spirits – are just a few of the hurdles they’ve had to overcome so far and will certainly face in the days, if not weeks, ahead – but if Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson ever reach the summit, these brave men – right now halfway there – will set the bar so high that it may take generations before another climber can accomplish such an incredible feat.
