They Made History!

So about a week and a half ago, I was following up with a story of two climbers reaching the peak of Dawn Wall at Yosemite National Park. Though I'm aware this entry isn't necessarily targeting wildlife in any sort, I look at it as Man Vs. Wild

Now it sounds like no big deal, I mean people climb high altitudes all the time. However, when talking about Dawn Wall, it is approximately 3,000 feet high being the hardest climb for human existence. Now I'm just exaggerating a bit but nonetheless it is the hardest free climb and no one has accomplished reaching the top until now.

Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson took an outstanding 19 days to climb the summit of El Capitan, only to climb with bloody fingers and aching bodies in the process, as well as making tents for a much needed rest day. 

Both of the climbers have experience in this region as it is their speciality. Caldwell, 36, and Jorgeson 30, have been climbing since they were kids. So what made these adrenaline junkies pursuit the hardest free climb? It's simple. To inspire others.

"The pair never thought the feat would gain attention outside climbing circles, but Jorgeson said he's hoping people who were struck by the themes of struggle and teamwork are inspired to tackle their own obstacles."

They spent years on figuring out easy routes and access around the climb itself; everything had to be choreographed well in able for the climb to be successful. Talk about dedication!

Now the extensive outlook of how tall Dawn Wall is immense. 

This picture is pretty much self explanatory to the high altitude to the summit in comparison to famous skyscrapers around the world.

I was extremely over joyed when these two men finally accomplished their long mission, making their marks in the history books (or on social media nowadays)

And lastly, I leave you all with this. It's pretty intense especially for those that are scared of heights, you've been warned :-)
