Remember the media frenzy around the free-climb of the Dawn

Wall at Yosemite’s El Capitan in 2015? We’ll talk with one of the climbers

about his life since then.

Kevin Jorgeson and his rock-climbing partner Tommy Caldwell,

free-climbed the Dawn Wall of Yosemite’s El Capitan in 2015. It was a historic

achievement. Their story is one of several told in a film we’re presenting
