Golden Gate ✨ Free In A Day ⚡️ @jonglassberg / @jess_talley / @louderthan11 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. On Nov 4 I started climbing with @alexhonnold at 1:34am, caught between my own internal drama of achieving a life goal and the more prevalent one of the elections – both unfolding in parallel ways in my brain. I knew I was in for a big day – but that’s exactly why I was there. I wanted to find my limit and exist in it and fight beyond it. 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?” The next pitch was the A5 traverse, where I failed last year. This time it was not my limit. I fought hard but with flawless movements in the dark. I cried at the belay – it could happen this time….The final 5 pitches felt scary in my current state but I pulled over the final lip at 10:30pm in disbelief. There’s a lot more to say but mostly I wanted to express my gratitude for the love and support from friends, family, and strangers. I feel the love so intensely right now. Thank you all Massive thanks to @alexhonnold for climbing with me over these years, you’ve inspired me to think bigger and believe in myself in ways you cannot imagine. To @jonglassberg for your friendship, creativity, and ability to capture a story while at the same time keeping it light and always fun. And finally to my best friend, partner, lover, fave human of all time @adrianballinger – your support and love for me through the darkness and the light has never wavered. I love you endlessly ❤️❤️❤️ More to come!!! @thenorthface / @kodiakcakes / @petzl_official / @lasportivana

~ On the Shoulders of Giants ~ It’s pretty hard to talk about free climbing on El Capitan without mentioning perhaps THE most astonishing ascents of all time – Lynn Hill’s (@_linacolina_) one day free ascent of The Nose in 1994. Her ascent made her the very first human to achieve such a feat, and it was far and beyond what anyone could conceive of at the time. Still today, free climbing El Capitan in a single day (via any route) is a pretty rare occurance (~25 people have achieved this maybe). More impressive, a free ascent of the Nose over the course of many days is considered exceptional and still only a handful of the very best climbers in the world have succeeded (under 10). How’s that for being ahead of one’s time? Having the privilege to grow up in the climbing mecca of Boulder, CO I was lucky enough to get to know Lynn from the beginning of my climbing career. Women like Lynn, @robyn_erbesfield_raboutou, @bethrodden, @katiebrownclimbs, @bobbibensman etc were fixtures in the climbing community at the time. As a little girl I was introduced to climbing knowing that it was a space for women and that we had the potential to excel just as much as men did. Today, after a pretty pivotal week for myself personally as well as for this country and women everywhere (hell yes @kamalaharris) I wanted to celebrate the women who paved the way in our sport and those who continue to push forward today. You all inspired me as a tiny 10 year old girl in the gym and continue to do so today. [also mega huge congrats to @juliachanourdie for becoming the 3rd woman to climb 9b/5.15b last week!] * to clarify in case anyone saw that some media got some of their facts wrong (to be corrected soon hopefully), I am the 4th woman to free climb El Cap in a day via any route behind 3 remarkable women: Lynn (via the Nose), @highsteph (via FreeRider) & @mayanclimbs (via FreeRider)✨ Pics: 1) Lynn on the infamous “Changing Corners” pitch on the Nose // 2 & 3) Lynn & I climbing “Country Club Crack” circa 2001 // 4) portrait by @jess_talley of me doing my best Lynn impression in front of El Cap last week

“ El Captain ေတာင္က တက္ရတာ ေတာ္ေတာ္ေလးခက္ခဲပါတယ္။ ပိုျမင့္တဲ့ ေနရာေရာက္ေလ ပိုေအးလာေလျဖစ္ျပီး လက္ေတြေတာင္ ေတာ္ေတာ္ေလး ထံုက်င္ေနခဲ့ရပါတယ္။ ဘာပဲျဖစ္ျဖစ္ ေတာင္ထိပ္ကို ေရာက္ေအာင္တက္ႏိုင္ခဲ့တဲ့အတြက္ ေတာ္ေတာ္ေလးကို ဝမ္းသာ ေပ်ာ္ရႊင္မိပါတယ္။ ကၽြန္မအဓိက ေပးခ်င္တဲ့ message ကေတာ့ အမ်ိဳးသမီးတစ္ေယာက္ဟာ မလုပ္ႏိုင္တာ ဘာမွမရွိပါဘူး။ ဒီဖက္ေခတ္ အမ်ိဳးသမီးေတြဟာ အမ်ိဳးသားေတြနဲ႔ ဘယ္ေနရာမွာမဆို ရင္ေဘာင္တန္းႏိုင္ျပီး တစ္ခ်ိဳ႕ေနရာေတြမွာ သာမန္အမ်ိဳးသားေတြ မလုပ္ႏုိင္တဲ့ အလုပ္ေတြကို လုပ္ႏိုင္တယ္ဆိုတယ သက္ေသျပခ်င္ရံုသက္သက္ပါ”လို႔ Emily က ေျပာၾကားခဲ့ပါတယ္။

Pancakes . If you’ve ever spent time around me you might be aware of my obsession w this scrumptious breakfast meal. I love everything about them – from eating the batter by the spoonful to the plethora of toppings and flavors – pancakes are my jam (more like butter and syrup and rainbow sprinkles if we are being honest). And – they are superb fuel ⛽️‍♀️So freaking proud to partner with a brand that aligns so perfectly with my lifelong devotion to said carby goodness (+protein and they make so much more aside from cakes!!!) Stoked to be a part of the fam @kodiakcakes ! ❤️ // #KodiakCakes #KodiakAthlete

It’s taken well over 3 decades for me to grasp the importance of balancing morale vs discipline. Aka sometimes you need ice cream for breakfast and whiskey around the campfire w all the girls in order to send. Also outfits @thenorthface // @petzl_official //@lasportivana // Galactic Emperor (13d) – @tarakerzhner Update cuz so many questions and dm’s lol: my outfit is a bodysuit from @thenorthface European line – thank you @david_goettler for indulging my obsession with bringing back the 90s and ordering it for me If you live in the EU get it!!!!
