Four days on El Cap

Article Abstract:

Chris Hadland and Caleb Rightmyer are two young climbers who scaled the steep face of El Capitan. Halfway up the sheer granite face 3,000 feet high, they were stranded when a rope stuck in a crack and required much effort to free. The two also fought off exhaustion until they reached the top.
