Tommy Caldwell has long been my candidate for one of the best climbers in the world due to his all-around ability and his big wall free climbing ascents. Plus, he’s a really nice guy.
I remember meeting his dad years ago in Zion National Park and Tommy’s dad, Mike, is a super fun, energetic guy that loves climbing. Hence, it’s no surprise that he passed that love of climbing on to his son, something I hope to do with my kids.
