  • Tommy Caldwell Climbs More Than Mountains

    Hanging what looks like a thousand feet high from a vertical mountain side climber's tent, Tommy recharges his iPhone using a solar panel and then proceeds to update his Facebook friends on his mountain climbing progress before he hits the sack.

    It's an inside peek into the end of a typical climbing day for Tommy.

    No doubt, he must lose focus and drive, at times, after busting his fingers dozens of times per day, crashing against the mountain when he loses his grip.  But Tommy's been at this for years so a little blood, sweat and tears won't stop him from ascending to the top of the Dawn Wall in Yosemite Valley.

    Facebook special on Tommy Caldwell:

    Most people never want something this bad so they never accomplish great things in life.  Tommy shows us all what you have to give if you really want something.

    Do we have to hold a world record to be important?  We can be a hero when we respond to a spouses frustration with kindness or help a friend out of a bad situation.

    Yet, maybe Tommy's example can cause some of us to try to accomplish goals that are bigger than life and make a difference in the lives of those we can touch.  Maybe the impossible obstacles we face as a society today can be overcome with a few Tommy's out there who know they will eventually reach the top.

    Let's all give Tommy our support as he climbs "the wall".
