I’m not good with heights. Changing a light bulb or retrieving a scarf from the upper shelf in my closet, I get wobbly being on the top rung of a step ladder. So it was with incomprehensible awe that I read about Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Ferguson completing their 3000 foot free climb on the Dawn Wall of El Capitan in Yosemite. It took 7 years of meticulous planning for them to get there. Not to mention superhuman courage and ambition. When he reached the summit today, Ferguson said, “I hope it inspires others to find their own Dawn Wall.”
