Abstract
- The article features speed climber Adam Ondra and his ascent of the Dawn Wall of the El Capitan rock formation in Yosemite Valley in California in November 2016. It mentions the goal of Ondra of completing the free climb within five to six days, the challenge faced by Ondra as he tried to pass through Pitch 14, one of the 32 pitches on the wall, and the inspiration and support provided by fellow climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson who completed the ascent in 19 days in 2015.
