A 10-year-old girl just became the youngest person to conquer one of the world’s hardest mountain climbs.
Selah Schneiter successfully climbed the “Nose route” on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. The climb reportedly took place over five days in early June.
Schneiter’s parents shared a picture of her climb on social media, showing the young girl happily looking up while hanging incredibly high off the side of the rock face. The photo was captioned with “Hope you’re having a great time hanging out, one way or another, on this fine Saturday. Here, hanging 2,000 feet up The Nose route on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.”
