Description

Taking tragedy and turning it into the ultimate triumph, come along and experience it for yourself. 
Original Review:
Man vs. Mountain, against insurmountable odds, this particular man was determined to take on the impossible. Tommy Caldwell understood the impossible better than most. Determined to scale the heights around the globe, he found himself (with a group of friends) captive in Kyrgyzstan. A decision that he made would change all of their lives forever, but especially his. This decision would define many things in his life, costing him more than he could have imagined. His therapy through all of the challenges was climbing. He scaled things that were challenges but it wasn't enough. In Yosemite Nat'l Park, there are multiple routes to climb on El Capitan... There was only one that was unclimbable, at least until now. The Dawn Wall, an ascent that defied even the most experienced climbers. Tommy made it his mission to find a way up. This desire became an obsession, it took over his life. There was only one way to satisfy him, and that was to scale it. It couldn't be done alone, and just when he needed it most, fate brought someone to him. Together they would do the impossible and this is their story. The blood, the sweat, the tears, all to take on the impossible and make it possible. This is that story, their story! Inspiring and exhausting, this story will inspire and ignite anyone who has a passion for what they believe in. Whether you're a fan of climbing or not, there is something special here. Experience it for yourself!
