      Here is a much better article written by a legitimate climbing publication that actually knows anything at all about climbing:

      The article says that he was the first person to free solo the Dawn Wall, which is false. He wasn’t the first to climb it, and he didn’t free solo it either.

      Tommy Caldwell was the first person to climb it, and nobody has free soloed it, and the likelihood of anyone ever doing that is basically zero.
