Valin Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 CNN: Steve Almasy Jan. 15 2014 (CNN)Nineteen days. Three thousand feet of some of the hardest climbing in the world. And just their bare hands and sticky-soled shoes to get them up the granite-faced monster known as the Dawn Wall. Many other people had climbed El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. None of them ever reached the top after free climbing the Dawn Wall as Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson did Wednesday. "It's an amazing feeling to accomplish something you have devoted your life to for years," Jorgeson said through a news release. "Tommy dreamed it could be done, and I could not be more honored to have been his partner on this journey. I hope it might inspire others who may not have been familiar with rock climbing to experience it for themselves."
