Climber Tommy Caldwell Makes History!

I had the pleasure of styling climber Tommy Caldwell in these Powerbar ads a few years back. Today Tommy and his climbing partner, Kevin Jorgeson are the first climbers in history to free climb (using only their hands – no ropes used to assist in the climb – only in case of a fall) El Capitan’s Dawn Wall in Yosemite. The Dawn wall is considered to be the most challenging climb anywhere. Congrats Tommy & Kevin! Stoked that I get to work with inspiring athletes like this!
