Legendary! Tom Frost made it very clear- Lynn Hill was THE best climber in the world.You may have heard the buzz about recent films featuring Yosemite climbers...but did you know about the landmark contributions of women to the Yosemite climbing scene? The first-ever free ascent of the famous Nose Route on El Capitan was made by Lynn Hill (it was later written that "at that moment Lynn Hill was arguably the best climber in the world, male or female"). Beth Rodden and Tommy Caldwell repeated the feat in 2005, and Beth went on to establish the Meltdown Route, then the hardest climb in Yosemite. For #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate climbers and athletes of all genders who have faced the challenges of big walls, long trails, and steep mountains...this is YOUR park! #FindYourPark
Nice Ken Yager. It’s a pleasure to know you!

Old Priest Grade awaits...
@conrad_anker #prieststationcafe
So amazing!
NO WAY! You don't seriously go down OLD Priest Grade on a bike, do you? I won't even do it in my car anymore, because I've lost my brakes at the bottom twice, in two different cars! (And yes, I know how to tap brakes and use the low gears.) I was extremely lucky both times that no cars were coming, but I'm not willing to chance it again. Good luck!
We are so stoked for @tommycaldwell and @kjorgeson
Now everyone can see #thedawnwall on @netflix
These guys have a great story - we can’t wait to share more of it.
Just watched The Dawn Wall last night, and I think I might like it even more than Free Solo, if that's possible. Both films are excellent! I just wish I could have seen TDW on the big screen.
CONGRATULATIONS! Alex Honnold
Tom: And there again, you're exactly like the pioneers...you know, it's not getting to the summit, but how you do it that counts. How you do it that counts. And the way you do your solo stuff is ... and that's one reason nobody understands what you're doing, because they don't understand the prep that you've put into it. But what you do is really good.
Alex: Ah, I appreciate that.
Tom: Best wishes to ya.
Alex: Just doing my best, you know.
Alex: We appreciate you guys leaving something to the rest of us, otherwise there would be nothing to do.

I look at the Golden Age of climbers and see how successful they were in life in general. They took their climbing, and applied that same philosophy to life.

Nice work Chris Van Leuven!
There is so much love in this story. Hans Florine's description of Tim and JJ's friendship reminds me of Tom and Royal. So beautiful.
