In 2000, Tommy Caldwell and three other climbers were kidnapped in Kyrgyzstan.
In "The Devil's Climb," a National Geographic documentary, famed rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold ("Free Solo") break a world record by climbing a treacherous Alaskan mountain in under 12 hours.
Caldwell told Business Insider that he "just didn't experience trauma the way that a lot of people would expect" from the kidnapping.
He told BI that he's learned two major things about trauma and high-stress situations since that day 24 years ago.
