Title: Tommy Caldwell - Part 1

Text:

Blessed are those who live at their dreams

That's the difference between listening to the knock on the door

And go on and answer it

What a glorious place to be

How do you describe yourself to people?

Super nerdy rock climber

Just try to figure out

how to never grow up, really I don't know

And how do other people describe you?

Like if we're gonna write an article

They say Tommy Caldwell ...

Absolutely gorgeous

Hey how ya doing man?

Good morning

Nice to see you

Good call on the sun-hat

You know we've all been wearing and breaking them daily

So that's the Dawn Wall ha?

Yeah right there...

It doesn't look so hard

I love how the buses with loads of people

Always get out and they'd be like...

Ohh my god that's so huge

You're just like ... look that way

Tommy Caldwell is a living legend

The most mainstream notable achievement

That he's done is the Dawn Wall

But that's just scraping the surface

of who Tommy Caldwell is

Since I first start to climb I have looked up to Tommy

And he is one of the best climbers in the U.S.

Tommy's also one of the nicest most hard working

Just like wholesome All-American man

He's very much like the Eagle-Scout type you know

Always willing to help, always does his best

He has terrific character

Tommy Caldwell looks like a little

scrawny on assuming character

But he's actually the best all-around rock climber in the world

He just finished one of the most historic

rock climbing projects ever done

The Dawn Wall and El Cap

It's the hardest free climb in Yosemite

Hardest big wall climb in the world

And he just quietly worked on it for over 6 years

Until he completed it

And that's become this source of inspiration around the world

For doing what many thought have been impossible

The Dawn Wall is hardest biggest route that

I could really conjure up in my imagination

I worked on it obsessively for 7 years

The goal was eventually to do a single push

from the ground to the top

without returning to the ground

That took days But something crazy happened

in this weird modern age

The story we've been following from the start

Kevin Jorgenson and Tommy Caldwell

entered the record books on Wednesday

The first to free climb the Dawn Wall of Yosemite El Capitan

And our first sit-down interview please welcome

Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgenson

All of the sudden the world was watching

And it's totally changed my life

And It's been really cool in a lot of ways

because I wanted inspire people

To ... kinda seek these big goals

Come to national parks ... To serve dream big

I mean the Dawn Wall represented kinda like

the biggest dream that I could Imagine

And then pursuing it with everything that I had

I think as I get older my capacity for

big challenge and big adventure just continually grows

Like the first time I climbed El Cap I was like

That's the best thats ever gonna be

Like it's all gonna be down hill from there

And then I climbed other routes that happened again

We went to Patagonia I had all these experiences

Where I was like I never gonna surpass that

And I feel that way again with the Dawn Wall

But you never know ... you know there's a lot of life left
