Yosemite National Park, CA The climbing community has been left shocked after Babsi Zangerl successfully free climbed through El Capitan widely regarded as one of the hardest and famous sheer Granite Wall in Yosemite National Park. This feat, described by climbers and other specialists as ‘hard to believe’ has now become a historical benchmark in rock climbing.
A Grand Adventure
Babsi Zangerl of 32 years had started her climb at the end of March on one of the hardest, steepest Nose routes. The ascent of 3,000 feet demands both grueling physical toughness and tremendous mental endurance from the climbers. With the setting sun at dusk, Zangerl set off in some of the poorest weather, which included unanticipated snowstorms that kept her cold from the outset.
Breaking Barriers
What makes Zangerl’s ascent different is not just the accomplishment of the climb but how she did it. Using cutting-edge climbing techniques and equipment, she managed to ascend El Capitan in a record-shattering 24 hours that runs against the grain of common sense. Her plan involved a well-choreographed schedule with minimal resting periods, ensuring maximum efficiency at critical junctures of the climb.
“Reaching the summit of El Capitan has always been a dream,” Zangerl revealed during her post-climb press conference. “Every moment on the rock tested my limits, but the support from the climbing community and my determination kept me pushing forward.”
Community and Recognition
The climbers have hailed the feat of Zangerl by citing him as an example of perseverance and appreciation of mankind. Famous climbers and local authorities have greeted her and have noted that her accomplishment is useful for those who dream of climbing the mountain. Yosemite National Park Ranger Emily Hart commented, “Babsi’s ascent speaks volumes and is incredible, I believe it is very important to understand the audacity of the climbing culture”.
Looking Forward
With this historic ascent, Babsi Zangerl not only made her name in the history of climbing but also created new benchmarks for further attempts. She plans to build her experience and pass it on to the new climbers as well as contribute towards the conservation of climbing in Yosemite as well as other regions.
A Lasting Legacy

Her historic ascent shows everyone that with passion, preparation and persistence everyone can conquer all possible obstacles no matter how steep they may seem.
