Hear how I climbed El Capitan, the mecca of rock climbing, solo without ropes! El Cap is the iconic granite wall in Yosemite National Park. It is rarely climbed relative to other Yosemite Peaks such as Half Dome.
I hiked the upper falls route to the top. I never touched the shear granite wall. It was a strenuous hike.
