The Push

''A real page-turner... captivating and deeply moving'' Climb magazine In 2015 freeclimber Tommy Caldwell spent 19 days summiting Yosemite''s vertical, 3000-foot Dawn Wall - the hardest climb in history. It was the culmination of seven years planning and a lifetime''s determination. Here, he recounts how he got there, the falls and set backs (being held hostage, losing his index finger, the break-up of his marriage), the summits conquered and the fears overcome. It is a story about drive, focus and how to achieve the impossible - one toehold at a time. ''Caldwell''s story is one of the best. You get more than just a climbing adventure, you get the inside view of how a person can endure crushing setbacks and persist to fulfill a spectacular vision'' Jim Collins, author of Good to Great ''Heart-stopping, absorbing'' Daily Mail ''Captivating and unfailingly honest'' Jon Krakauer ''This isn''t just a book about climbing, it''s about laser sharp focus in all aspects of life'' Scott Jurek, author of Eat & Run ''Absolutely captivating, thrills, enriches'' Denver Post.
