Synopsis
The definitive film on the climb that captured headlines and ignited imaginations worldwide. Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson ascend the hardest big wall of all time: a 19 day ascent of The Dawn Wall, on the 3,000 foot vertical face of El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park. The film travels deeper than the climb, digging into the history of the climbers and painting an intimate portrait of Caldwell's harrowing life experiences that culminated in a single-minded drive to complete this impossible climb. The Dawn Wall is a heart-warming and inspiring movie that celebrates perseverance, camaraderie, and the universal spirit of dreaming big, and never giving up.

The Tommy Caldwell Story basically. I love mountain climbing documentaries. Usually I like the summit type stuff but this one about climbing a big flat stone is pretty good too. The original title was "White People Hobbies." Not bad as background noise, and certainly inspirational and a good story of perseverance.

A remarkable accomplishment and well done documentary. After the movie, I asked my self, "What's the hardest thing I've accomplished in my life?" I found myself lacking after seeing this. Well worth the watch.

The perfect chain of motivating events leading to an accomplishment otherwise deemed impossible. The teamwork was so heartening.

The sort of film/subject where i need a spoiler before watching. But im assuming anyway that it wouldn't be seen if they had fallen bad! I still need to have that spoiler info!
