A Day in the Life of Tommy Caldwell

Here’s a cool video from Cedar Wright showing how Tommy Caldwell trains for a big El Cap free route. Pretty inspiring, now if only I could find 8 to 10 hours a day to train…

Tommy’s a beast.
Anybody notice that they weren’t carrying pads up to Chaos? I’m assuming they were using stashed pads. I thought that was becoming more and more of an issue with the Park Service. Just a “hmmm” thought.
Tommy doesn’t need pads, he doesn’t fall!
It might be better to shut off the music so we can actually hear what Tommy is saying.
The man is a power house to be sure! He probably knows every climb by heart, no pads required!!
Tommy certainly is a beast. As far as the pad situation goes, I would hope that the camera crew, Cedar Wright, or other climbers carried in a few pads.
Having a pad on your back really ruins the aesthetic of the hiking footage used in this video. But who knows, maybe they did use stashed pads *shrugs*
