Question

what impact did the experience of being held hostage have on Tommy Caldwell?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Tommy Caldwell was born on 11th August 1978. He was an accomplished rock climber in sport climbing.

Tommy Caldwell along with his fellow climbers John Dickey, Jason Smith and Beth Rodden were kidnapped by the rebels in Krygyztan for six days in August 2000.

On 11th August 2000 all the four American climbers were forced down at gunpoint in a formation refereed as the Yellow wall in Ak Su valley. Tommy gathered courage to push Ravshan Sharipov, the lone kidnapper from the cliff and managed to reach the government soldiers.

The above incident made Tommy all the more smart and strong. He could now assess the meaning of risk. The hostage incident made him realize that by pushing through difficult situations and moments one can emerge stronger and victorious.

Hope this helps.
