Nose of El Capitan

Is there a more iconic pitch of rock climbing in the United States than the Great Roof on the Nose of El Capitan? Of course, this feature wouldn’t be what it is without its history, especially Lynn Hill’s iconic first free ascent in 1993. Here is Beth Rodden, captured during her and Tommy Caldwell’s team-free ascent of the Nose back in 2005. Photo by Corey Rich
