'Heart-stopping absorbing' Daily Mail 'The most daring free climber on the planet' The
Times__________ In 2015 climber Tommy Caldwell took on the hardest challenge of his life
spending 19 days freeclimbing Yosemite's vertical 3000-foot Dawn Wall - regarded as the most
difficult climb in history and a route nobody had ever done before. This odds-defying feat was
the culmination of seven years planning and a lifetime of determination. Here he recounts how
he got there the falls and setbacks - being held hostage losing his index finger the
break-up of his marriage - the summits conquered and the fears overcome. Fans of Free Solo and
Dawn Wall and climbers and non-climbers alike will be gripped by this story of drive focus
and achieving the impossible. __________ 'The Push is not simply a book about rock climbing'
