Mt Whitney Zone Forums The Chat Room Dawn Wall free climb attempt in Yosemite

Even if they had to quit right now, it would be an incredible feat. Alex Honnold has said some pitches they have done are harder than anything he has climbed.

Climbers hope to summit tomorrow

Move the scroll bar on the right edge up or down, roll the mouse left or right over the picture. Pretty amazing view of the route.

I was not aware, until the today that all the "free climbing" was done with a safety rope and protection. Also heard this morning that one of them fell 11 times.

Before this, I erroneously thought they were climbing completely unprotected, and was just shaking my head at the insanity. So my admiration of their feat and their sensibilities has risen tremendously.
