Vor ein paar Tagen hat Alex Honnold mit der Free-Solo-Erstbegehung des El Capitan weltweit für Schlagzeilen gesorgt.  Wir liefern euch jetzt die ersten Aufnahmen vom Aufstieg in der Route “Freerider”. Dieser 35 Sekunden Ausschnitt  des Teams um Jimmy Chin vermittelt einen Eindruck der unglaublichen Leistung. Wir sind schon auf die ausführliche Doku gespannt!

It is arguably the greatest feat of pure rock climbing in the history of the sport. He ascended the peak in three hours, fifty-six minutes, taking the final moderate pitch at a near run. Under a blue sky and few wisps of cloud, he pulled his body over the rocky lip of the summit at 9:28 a.m. PDT. A team of filmmakers, led by @jimmy_chin, one of Honnold’s longtime climbing partners, and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, captured the ascent for an upcoming National Geographic Documentary Films feature. You can read Mark Synnott’s exclusive account of the climb, which was more than a year in the making, on nationalgeographic.com or by swiping up on our Instagram Story. #history #elcapitan #yosemite
