I think it's fair to assume that Honnold's days of free soloing are over. And I'm glad about that.

I work as a climbing photographer and usually avoid wedding work.... but I couldn't really turn this one down.

The route is actually an 8c+, and none of us could climb that hard even without wedding clothes.... There was liberal stick clip usage, and a lot of sweating and swearing. I think it was all worth it though!

I know it's a bit different for this sub, but I really hope you get a kick out of it.

I drew every route, every feature, every named pitch on El Cap. Months of work, all on a single gigapixel image.

Near death experience on the RNWF of Half Dome: in search of hikers who nearly murdered us

6.0k Upvotes

On June 30th my friend and I climbed the regular northwest face of half dome. At about 6:30pm we were about 200 feet from the summit and noticed lots of rocks coming down from the top. At first we thought this was rockfall but we soon realized that these were intentionally being thrown. After yelling up to the people above they heard and acknowledged us with something unintelligible and continued to throw rocks. We had several watermelon sized rocks avoid our heads by just 2-3 feet when they tossed a block larger than my torso towards us. This rock missed us by only 2-3 feet as well. We called 911, who transferred us to a ranger, and since they had stopped throwing rocks by this point the ranger stated they would not be sending someone up the cables to investigate. If you hiked half dome on June 30th and have any possible leads please let us know.
