“In another inspiring battle late into the night Kevin managed to send pitches 18, 19, and 20,” posted Caldwell on Instagram. “Clouds swirled all around it was truly a surreal scene.”
Caldwell and Jorgeson are now roughly 12 pitches from the top of El Cap. The difficulties guarding the summit of the Dawn Wall max-out at 5.12d.
