Yesterday, on November 15, Japanese climber, Keita Kurakami, joined the ranks of the few elite climbers to ever free climb every pitch of El Capitan’s The Nose (5.14a) in Yosemite Valley. This impressive lineup includes Lynn Hill, Tommy Caldwell, Beth Rodden, and Jorg Verhoeven.
Needless to say this route is known the most famous big wall route in the world. Therefore, there is some difficulties to climb it as free. But I realized it that if really want to climb it, can be sure to find a solution. [sic]
According to Keita’s website biography, he’s achieved previous trad ascents up to 5.14a and climbed several V14s.
