Yosemite is famous the world over for it’s big wall climbing and for years has been the mecca of climbing enthusiasts. Here’s an article from one such enthusiast in South Africa who made the trip just to get his share of the glory.
IOL: “Fingerlocks, laybacks and jamming were the order of the day until the last pitch, which has a cruxy (and a little run out) mantel through a bulge, then back to a cracked slab to top out with the blood racing through my veins and sweaty muscles feeling that all too familiar glow which comes after slipping a really classic route in the bag.
Little did I know, but this was only a sample of what was to come””.
