This is funny, I was with him filming on Empath. Basically he said the scene in CO is just not as stoked as Tahoe.
He moved here in the fall. Such a nice guy and so fucking strong.....I would be projecting what he warmed up on around the corner from Empath.

Tommy Caldwell doesn't need to stay on trail; the trail stays under Tommy Caldwell.

Tommy Caldwell found the perfect hand jam once. Everyone else calls it the Grand Canyon.

Technically... Tommy Caldwell died when he lost his finger... but Death was too afraid to tell him.

Tommy didnt cut his finger off......he ripped it off....we now call that chunk of his finger Magnus Midtbo!

Tommy Caldwell was bitten by a rattle snake recently. After five hours of excruciating pain, the snake died.

Rather than admit he had route finding issues on the East Buttress of El Cap, Tommy put up the Dawn Wall.

Big shout out to page 4 here. Never given so many thumbs up  

This thread page is at least 94% better than the climbing memes thread

78% of all statistics are made up on the spot.   

Tommy didn't move... California moved to be back under Tommy Caldwell.

From this day henceforth, South Lake Tahoe shall be referred to as South Lake Colorado. Even if that ruins my preference to refer to Lake Tahoe as The Gulf of Nevadastan.

When wolves gather at night, they often tell the story about "The pup who cried Tommy".

Poor guy was tired of being the Estes Park town greeter.  Everywhere he went.  Tommy!  Tommy! Tommy!


The people in Tahoe give him respect.  They just call him Tom.

The best part about all this TC hype is that in the Eldrid video Tommy is all like, "to be really honest, it's hard to pursue my passion while helping raise a family and some days I'm just tiiired"

When Caldwell and Honnold made an attempt on Cerro Torre in Patagonia, and only Honnold returned... when they found Alex... famished, exhausted, and barely able to stand, all he said was Tommy, Tommy, Tommy!

Tommy is so strong  the International Science Foundation downgraded Newton's First Law to a "Suggested Guideline"

Tommy Caldwell once shoved a man off a mountain so hard he was immediately reborn into the afterlife only to be killed again by a rival faction.

Tommy once bounce tested his own nuts in the Cobra Crack.

I did quite a bit of climbing with Mike Caldwell, father of The Tommy, back around 1980. Mike was no slouch either, an extremely strong man. We climbed in Estes Park, Devil's Tower, and Josh for several years. Tommy was about two years old then...

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
