Emily Harrington became the first woman to free-climb El Capitan yesterday in under 24 hours and she detailed her adventure on Instagram with some amazing stories. For one, she slipped and gashed her forehead before pulling herself up to keep going.
Take a look at some of her posts on Instagram. To check out the full caption, use the link to go to her post.
“I never believed I could actually free climb El Cap in a day when I first set the goal for myself. It didn’t seem like a realistic objective for me. I didn’t have the skills, fitness, or risk profile to move so quickly over such a large piece of stone. But I chose it exactly for that reason. Impossible dreams challenge us to rise above who we are now to see if we can become better versions of ourselves.
A nasty slip on the 13a Golden Desert pitch almost took my resolve – a deep gash on my forehead left me bloody and defeated. I pulled on again, part of me not really wanting to stay on the wall, the other part gathering courage and flow. I kept thinking “why am I still hanging on?”
