On Jan. 14, 2015, Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson completed what was arguably one of the most difficult ascent in the history of big wall climbing.

They climbed for 19 days up the 1,000-metre Dawn Wall on El Capitan in Yosemite up razor-thin granite holds.

Photographers and filmmakers including Corey Rich, Bligh Gillie and Brett Lowell tagged along and the media buzz reached the White House.

On top of El Cap were 70 friends, family and onlookers.. Hundreds of spectators were on the valley floor below, watching the climbers make their final push.

In 2016, Adam Ondra made the second ascent of the Dawn Wall 5.14d after an eight-day push. It was his first big wall.

The film is produced by Red Bull Media House in association with Sender Films and focuses on the 2015 ascent by Jorgeson and Caldwell.
