Yosemite National Park
Free-Climbing El Capitan

On January 14, 2015, free-climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson completed their 19 day effort to become the first people to ever free-climb the sheer face of El Capitan’s Dawn Wall. The duo used safety ropes and harnesses to prevent falls, but did not use any climbing aids in reaching the top. This video shows reaction of loved ones once the pair had successfully completed their climb.
