When's TC and KJ's dawn wall free climb documentary going to be released? I can't find anything. At the end of Reel Rock 10, it just says "... is coming... by Patagonia". Thanks.

"The Dawn Wall" film might be screening on Sept 19 in a theater near you: https://www.fathomevents.com/events/the-dawn-wall
They had a pre-screening in SF one night in June. I went with a low expectation because between paperback and audible version, I read Tommy Caldwell's The Push three times. Thought I'd be bored. Watching the film turned out to be a great experience. I heard similar feedback from my friends as well. The film kept the full theater engaged the whole night. Don't miss it!

Poor Adam - crushes the thing in short order and all he gets is a lame slideshow.

But a timely slideshow. Loved all the footage of him in real time. 3.5 years later it’s hard to get excited for a human interest story with climbing vignettes interspersed.

More like a gecko.
In 2016, I watched Adam climb one of the crux sections from about twenty feet away. There were basically no holds, finger cracks or anything like that. It was just a vertical flared corner, which he somehow managed to stem and counter-pressure his way up.
Heinz Zak was up there filming at the same time.

Saw it yesterday, great film. We had a nice Q & A with the film makers after the screening.
For those of you in West L.A., it'll be at the Laemmle Santa Monica I believe for the rest of this week.

It was definitely good. I’m kind of bummed I went in having already viewed every last spoiler over the years. The film did such a good job putting it all together, but I always knew what was going to happen next.
I just looked - can you believe that little kid just turned 40?!?!!!

Bakersfield was packed. It did much better than Grateful Dead at the movies night.

just got back from the showing in Redwood City...
liked it a lot, probably is more a biography of Timmy with the Dawn Wall as the acme, it will be interesting to see what comes next.
loosing his phone off the wall was a good portent...

Just saw it too. I liked it. The phone thing was funny and don't blame him. I also liked the last addition. Wish it wasn't just in a random movie theatre and more interactive but whatever.

I saw it in Santa Monica on Sunday. It's playing in NY and LA for a week, presumably for a potential Best Docu Oscar consideration (rules are a film has to play in theaters for one week to be eligible)
Josh Lowell and Peter Mortimer did a 20 minute Q&A after our showing. When we arrived Tommy was outside signing Dawn Wall poster autographs for people from the show ahead of us and taking pics with fans. He was supposed to make it back for the Q&A after our showing but got delayed due to a 5pm appearance at the nearby Patagonia store that ran long.
It was well made. Albeit uneventful because of all the media coverage that surrounded it and media appearances they did we already knew the story inside and out. It's been three years since their feat. I think Alex's Free Solo will do better as its more current. Just won the audience favorite docu award at TIFF and it's more of a simple story. A guy and his dream of taking on the death-defying task of climbing El Cap without a rope. That's something people can process. Dawn Wall was more for people with climbing knowledge or interest.
