So Alex, what did you do last week?
Oh, I went to Yosemite. I climbed El Cap, then I had a beer.

El Cap is a 3000' vertical wall. Alex climbed it in four hours,...without ropes or hardware!
Read about it and see a map of the route: note the part called The Boulder! Free-climbing and holding on to 1/8" ledges? Sure! Why not?
- - - PS: Oops, hadn't seen that SWT posted the NatGeo version earlier! My link is to a Sacramento paper since Alex is a local guy. But reading the SWT thread with people concerned about others trying this? That would be hard to imagine.
