Il video della scalata della Dawn Wall

Res publica   24.01.15  

L'adrenalinico video di tre minuti che mostra l'arrampicata di Tommy Caldwell alle prese con un passaggio sulla Dawn Wall, durante l'eccezionale scalata di El Capitan, nel parco di Yosemite, insieme a Kevin Jorgeson.

"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.
