Free Climbing The Nose
Our Friday Night Video this week takes us to El Capitan, Yosemite. On November 11, 2019, Belgian climber Sébastien Berthe became only the seventh person to free climb the Nose (VI 5.14a). He also became the first person ever to free climb the route ground up.
The Nose had several ascents in the Autumn season of 2019, firstly from Berthe and then Barbara Zangerl and Jacopo Larcher in a six-day push later in the month.
