@cbsnews: American climber Sasha DiGiulian has become the first woman to free-climb El Capitan's longest route — a journey she said ended up being the "most formative and challenging climb" of her career. "When we got to the top, after 23 days of this climb, I took a step and I just started laughing cause I was like, I haven't walked in so long," DiGuilian told CBS News in a phone interview Monday. DiGiulian free-climbed the roughly 3,000-foot sheer granite wall in Yosemite National Park over the course of more than three weeks, nine days of which were spent waiting out bad weather on a wall ledge. Having eyed El Cap for years, DiGiulian is one of the few to summit via the long and difficult Platinum route. Made famous by the Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo," which captured climber Alex Honnold's famed ascent in June 2017, El Capitan is more than twice the height of the Empire State Building. DiGiulian, 33, and her climbing partner Elliot Faber were periodically accompanied by support personnel and a videographer. 📸: Pablo Durana / @RedBull Content Pool.

JOHN003 :

she didn't do it free climbing 🤣🤣 when you free climb you use no ropes at all.

mookow61 :

Is the free climbing in the room with us? This is an impressive feat which is less impressive than free climbing.

OGthaOriginalGrandpa :

does longest mean safest? Not familiar with the difficulties of the routes. I would fall and die so in no way am I demeaning her feat.
