While there once was Tom Cruise climbing cliffs, now we have Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell in The Devil’s Climb. Taking us on the journey of a lifetime, climbing the deadliest summit Devils Thumb in Alaska-British Columbia.

The Synopsis

From National Geographic and Plimsoll Productions comes the thrilling documentary special THE DEVIL’S CLIMB. Follow renowned rock climbers Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell on a 2,600-mile expedition to tackle one of the most daunting challenges of their careers: summiting the infamous Devils Thumb. The Devils Thumb is a sinister tower of ice-plastered granite deep in the wilderness of southeast Alaska and is known as one of the most dangerous mountains in North America.  For Alex Honnold, this climb is among the greatest adventures of his life, a testament to his relentless drive to achieve the impossible. For his best friend, Tommy Caldwell, it’s a chance to make a heroic comeback after a career-threatening Achilles injury. The friends undertake an epic journey to the Devil’s Thumb, traveling by bicycle, sailboat and on foot through the American West, Canada and Alaska. Witness the extraordinary courage and pulse-pounding climbing as the two attempt to accomplish the first-ever, single-day traverse of all five peaks of the Devils Thumb massif – and push their bodies and bond to the absolute limit.

The Colorado native, Tommy Caldwell is known for making records in sport climbing, traditional climbing and rock climbing. National Geographic announced Caldwell as being the “best all-around rock climber on the planet” in 2015 and is very popular in the world of climbers.  While Alex Honnold is known for his free solo big wall climbs. He was the first to free solo El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. His journey is now a documentary film, Free Solo, which is a BAFTA and Academy winner.

I had the privilege to be connected with the subjects of The Devil’s Climb, Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell. They both spoke about putting themselves through the 2,600 mile bike ride before the climb. As well as to the journey while with a filming crew that were around at all times, the joy of both being in their element and having fun throughout the expedition and much more!
