Kevin Jorgeson is one of the most popular and richest Rock Climber who was born on October 7, 1984 in California, California, United States. Notable for his rock climbing feats, this California-born adventurer is famous as a member of the two-person climbing team that, for the first time in history, orchestrated a successful free climb of El Capitan’s 3,000-foot- tall Dawn Wall (in Yosemite National Park).
He and Aron Ralston are both well known rock climbers.
Jorgeson and his climbing partner Tommy Caldwell were the first two climbers to successfully complete a free climb of the Dawn Wall of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, completing the 3,000 ft climb between December 28, 2014, and January 14, 2015. The Dawn Wall is one of the most difficult big- wall climbs in the world, with multiple pitches rated 5.14 in the Yosemite Decimal System. The climb had been planned since shortly after the release of the documentary film Progression in 2009, in which Caldwell, who had previously free climbed other, easier routes on El Capitan, surveyed the Dawn Wall to consider if it was possible to free climb. Jorgeson wrote to Caldwell after seeing the film, and the two men began to plan out and practice for the ascent.
The Dawn Wall, a documentary following Jorgeson and Caldwell on their free climb of the Dawn Wall, was released on September 19, 2018. The documentary was directed by Josh Lowell and Peter Mortimer.
Born in Santa Rosa, California, to Gaelena and Eric Jorgeson, he grew up with a younger sibling named Matt.
