In awe of this level of climbing. I've done some Yose big wall #climbing but this is orders of magnitude beyond. Love that she has 2k+ of air under her heels. From YCA: "Lots of weather in Yosemite this week and last: snow, rain, and sustained cool temps. I’ve been in touch with Sasha DiGiulian and Elliot Faber as they’ve hunkered down on El Cap—and have now been on the wall for more than two weeks—working the Direct Line (aka the Platinum Line), a 39-pitch 5.13d/14a that parallels the Nose."
