The Dawn Wall comes to The Ridgefield Playhouse on September 19

A Chance to win a Family Rock Climbing package with Rock Climb Fairfield and a movie! A special one-day screening of The Dawn Wall comes to The Ridgefield Playhouse on September 19th!

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the thrill of rock climbing, now is your chance! Blurring the lines between dedication and obsession, The Dawn Wall, a documentary film showing at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Wednesday, September 19 at 7pm, recounts the adventures of rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson who captivated the world with their effort to climb The Dawn Wall, a seemingly impossible 3,000-foot rock face in Yosemite National Park. To get you started on the road to thrill and exercise, one lucky audience member at this screening will win a Family Climbing package for up to 5 people (includes all equipment, day pass and 2 hours of instruction), courtesy of Rock Climb Fairfield. Don’t miss your chance to win and get inspired by this harrowing and incredible documentary, which is part of Cohen & Wolf, P.C. Movie Series. Bonus content includes behind the scenes footage and on-screen Q&A with Tommy Caldwell.

Caldwell and Jorgeson lived on the sheer vertical cliff of The Dawn Wall for weeks in 2015, igniting a frenzy of global media attention. But for Caldwell, The Dawn Wall was much more than just a climb, it was the culmination of a lifetime defined by overcoming obstacles. Caldwell and his partner Jorgeson spent six years meticulously plotting and practicing their route. On the final attempt, with the world watching, Caldwell was faced with a moment of truth. Should he abandon his partner to fulfill his ultimate dream, or risk his own success for the sake of their friendship?
