Quite the climb - El Capitan

From Outside Magazine:

A 10-Year-Old Just Climbed the Nose
Selah Schneiter, 10, is small for her age, weighing just 55 pounds and standing four foot two. She loves math and playing guitar and is “silly and plays make believe,” says her mom, Joy.

She is also the youngest documented person ever to climb the 3,000-foot Nose route on Yosemite’s El Capitan. Selah topped out the famous line at 5:45 p.m. on June 12 after a five-day push with her dad, Mike, and his friend Mark Regier.

“I was scared just sometimes,” she said at the top. “I thought it was really fun.”

Quite the haul - 31 seperate pitches.
