El Capitan: majestic, attractive, dramatically hard to climb

[ArtyZ]

I have never interested in mountain climbing…until I met the El Capitan in Yosemite.

We were enjoying the mountain view when saw group of people who were watching to the El Capitan through telescopes. I wondered: "What are you looking at? Birds or rodents? Folks answered smiling: “Our friends are climbing to the top right now. That’s challenging and quite dangerousness”. My reaction was immediate: “No way! It is impossible, it is suicide. The rock is vertical as the wall from Game of Thrones!!”. They game me telescope to watch and that was incredible!

Can you find the climbers?) Many of them are doing it without any net!

How encouraging and brave the people are!

If you want to know more about one of the El Capitan conquerors I do recommend new documentary movie “Free Solo”. The film won the Oscar.

Hi @ArtyZ ,

I don’t see any climbers, but that rock is really scary and steep! I’ve really wanted to try rock climbing, but never really got to a place to do it, except indoors, which is ridiculous compared to this. Have you tried climbing?

The documentary looks interesting, I might give it a shot! Thanks for sharing!
