TWO CLIMBERS REACH THE TOP OF EL CAPITAN, THE WORLD’S HARDEST ROCK CLIMB 1 Kevin Jorgeson and Tommy Caldwell are climbers. They climbed to the top of the Dawn Wall on El Capitan Peak, in California’s Yosemite National Park. It is the largest standing granite rock in the world. It is nine-hundred and fourteen metres tall. Some people have called it the world’s hardest rock climb. They seem to be right about that. Inspirational 2 Jorgeson and Caldwell climbed using only natural rock holds for their hands and feet, which they have practiced doing for some time. Rope was used only to stop falls. People watched from the park and online via a live feed. They said the climb was exciting and inspirational. Social Media 3 For nearly eighteen days, the climbers shared details of their climb on social media. They ate, stretched and slept in hanging tents. The tents hung from the rock face. It looked very dangerous, but was in fact quite safe. The pair had to apply lotions to their hands to stop the skin from cracking. No sweat 4 The pair wore headlamps and usually climbed at the end of the day just before it became dark. This was because their hands wouldn’t sweat when the stone was cold. Sweating can be a big problem when trying to grab small stone ledges. Experience 5 Caldwell had done twelve free climbs on El Capitan before this attempt. Jorgeson had only done one. They both trained for five years for the Dawn Wall climb. Jorgeson said he’d do it all over again if he got the chance. The Guardian TIP Have you ever heard of reference words? Sure, you know them.
