The PUSH: A Climber's Search for the Path (paper)
Tommy Caldwell
Alternative Views:y
On January 14, 2015, Tommy Caldwell, along with his partner Kevin Jorgeson, became the first ever to complete what is largely regarded as the hardest rock climb in history—a 19-day free ascent of the nearly vertical 3,000 foot Dawn Wall on El Capitan in Yosemite. Caldwell’s odds-defying feat was the culmination of a lifetime of pushing himself to his limits.
This engrossing memoir chronicles the journey of a boy with a fanatical mountain-guide father who was determined to instill toughness in his son, to a teen whose obsessive nature drove him to the top of the sport climbing circuit. Caldwell’s affinity for adventure then led him to the vertigo-inducing and little understood world of big wall free climbing. But his evolution was not without challenges; in his early twenties, he and three other climbers were held hostage by militants in a harrowing ordeal in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Soon after, he lost his left index finger in an accident, and later his wife left him. Caldwell emerged from these hardships with a renewed sense of purpose and determination. He set his sights on free-climbing El Capitan’s biggest, steepest, blankest face—The Dawn Wall. This epic assault took over seven years, during which time Caldwell redefined the sport, found love again, and became a father.
