trad climbing video - dosage 4

Post by merrick »

Here is something you all might be interested in.

An unknown climber named Tommy Caldsomething climbed some large boulder twice in a day. Josh got it on film.


Check out the 5 minute teaser:

Josh's official email says,
We are putting the finishing touches on Dosage Volume IV, and it's looking great... DVDs will be shipping at the end of September, and a trailer and pre-ordering will be up on our site in two weeks.

One of the Doses featured in Volume IV is Two In A Day, which documents Tommy Caldwell's incredible Yosemite linkup of two El Capitan free routes in one day. Caldwell climbed both The Nose (5.14a, 30 pitches) and Freerider (5.12d, 37 pitches) for a total of 6,000 feet of hard climbing in 23 hours, 23 minutes. Big UP had five cameramen documenting this incredible feat, and the resulting Dose, Two In A Day, is one of the most inspiring things we've shot.

Today we launched a five minute excerpt from Two In A Day on the
Big UP Site. The clip shows Caldwell sending The Nose's Great Roof pitch (5.13c), the first difficult pitch of his marathon day. Please visit the site and check out the Extras Section to watch the clip, read the story and check out some photos.
