He got some balls!! 3000ft climb. Two men have free climbed the Dawn Wall of Yosemite's El Capitan rock formation, a feat no-one has ever managed before. The 3,000-foot (914m) sheer granite face is one of the most difficult climbs in the world and frighteningly smooth. How did they hold on? "The holds are quite literally matchsticks on a vertical face," says Leo Houlding, a professional climber who has climbed El Capitan by a different route. "Your main point of contact when you are climbing is the tips of your fingers and obviously hanging on to tiny little holds with all your bodyweight, and all the power you can create, starts to shred your fingertips," Houlding says. "And after a week you have very little skin left." Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson, the two climbers who completed their epic climb on Wednesday, had been on the wall since 27 December - two-and-a-half weeks.

Yes, they may have free climbed it, meaning they only used ropes to protect from falls; but this man, he free soloed El Capitan, which means he used no ropes. The first and only to do this, as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Pretty risky stuff if you ask me. Then again, I suppose so is skydiving or deep sea diving. Or crossing the street without looking. Mind that bus! What bus? Splat!

Every discipline he displayed therein had to be executed perfectly to achieve this, & he did. Schools have created curricula around aspects of his personal achievement & the work involved in it's accomplishment. Or, knowing nothing about it, you could take 20 seconds to dismiss it out of hand and call him an idiot. Edited May 21, 2019 by Timmah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
