Tommy Caldwell

Biography

Tommy Caldwell is an American rock climber known for big-wall, sport, and traditional climbing. Born in Estes Park and raised in Loveland, Colorado, he was introduced to the sport by his father, a mountain guide. Caldwell established first free ascents on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, including The Dawn Wall with Kevin Jorgeson in January 2015 after 19 days, a first in big-wall free climbing. He also free-climbed The Nose in under 12 hours and completed the Fitz Traverse with Alex Honnold. His climbs appear in the documentaries The Dawn Wall (2017), Free Solo (2018), which follows Alex Honnold's free solo of Freerider, and The Devil's Climb (2024), about an expedition to Alaska's Devil's Thumb with Honnold.
