The Yosemite Triple Crown: Speed Climbing the Big Walls

No female climbers had ever completed the Yosemite Triple Crown – until this amazing duo appeared on the scene and nailed it this summer. What is it? It’s speed climbing 8,000 vertical feet on three iconic big walls in Yosemite (El Capitan, Half Dome, and Mt. Watkins) in under 24 hours. These photos say it all, but listen in to their fascinating and fun conversation in Episode #41 of the Carpe Diem: Live Your Dream podcast.
