In October 2014, Dutch climber Jorg Verhoeven made the 4th ascent of The Nose on El Capitan, Yosemite. First climbed by Lynn Hill in 1993 ('It goes boys'), the line had received very few repeats since, particularly considering how easily accessible El Capitan is for a big wall.
Join Jorg as he explains why this route is so hard, what keeps people from climbing this iconic route free, and what he personally invested into his remarkable ascent. Tommy Caldwell and Lynn Hill help narrate this incredible story of determination and perseverance that ultimately leads to the 5th free ascent of The Nose.
Yeah, but he's Dutch; what's he ever done on - er - rock? Ah yes - I remember now: The Nose - and Freerider [of course] - and El Niño - and Dihedral Wall. Hmm....
