Watch Jorgeson’s Duracell Dawn Wall Bit and Where’s Caldwell’s Story?

Kevin Jorgeson and Tommy Caldwell sent the Dawn Wall in January and Duracell jumped on board with a commercial featuring Jorgeson.

Ever wonder where’s Caldwell’s side of the Dawn Wall story? There’s been dozens of stories and videos about Jorgeson online, but why not Caldwell?

Well, it’s rumoured that Caldwell’s life story was bought after the Kyrgystan kidnapping event in 2000 in hopes of making a movie and the script sits on a dusty shelf somewhere.

Find out more about the capture and subsequent escape of Tommy Caldwell, Beth Rodden, John Dickey, and Jason Smith here.

Hopefully, Caldwell and his team are waiting for the perfect time to release his story because, after all, the Dawn Wall was his dream.
