10-year-old Selah Schneiter becomes the youngest climber on record to make it to the top of 'The Nose' route on El Capitan—one of the most challenging and infamous vertical rock formations in Yosemite.
On June 12, Selah Schneiter became the youngest climber on record to make it to the top of"The Nose" route on El Capitan -- one of the most challenging and infamous vertical rock formations, in Yosemite National Park, California.
"She's all about wanting other kids to be more active, whether it's biking, climbing, skiing -- she always wants more kids to be active and not be on their phones, and I think that's ultimately some of our motivation to talk about it, because it's really near and dear to her," he said. "Once she topped out, she was the first one to go up to this tree, that is a symbolic thing for climbers, and she just broke down in tears," he said."She said it was her 'first happy tears she's ever had."
Selah began getting"pretty serious" about climbing El Capitan last year, Schneiter said, and so he got to work with her in training.
