Dave Allfrey, writing for Alpinist about his and Alex Honnold’s recent efforts to climb El Capitan seven times in seven consecutive days:

In the end I believe we found what we were looking for–a physical and mental endurance challenge and a grand adventure on El Capitan. We hoped to enchain in-a-day ascents and find a new level of difficulty.

We wanted to test our big-wall skill and efficiency to see if we could make this possible.

→ 3rd Free Ascent Of PreMuir By Elias & Kerzhner∞

Posted July 3, 2014 at 8:08 am · Comments { 5 } ·

Rock & Ice caught up with Sam Elias after he and Mike Kerzhner did the 3rd free ascent of PreMuir (5.13+) on El Capitan in Yosemite, CA:

He fired it [the crux stem corner pitch]. Then, so did I. It wasn’t romantic. It was a nerve-racking nightmare. It required all my physical strength, as well as my mental resolve. This pitch always haunted my thoughts, and I felt that if we could get through it, we’d have a really good chance. We easily dispatched the next 5.13a pitch, and when the day was over, we were psyched.
