Alex Honnold Scales El Capitan Without Ropes, And The Climbing World Reels

Alex Honnold smiles after scaling El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, in a photo provided by National Geographic. Honnold became the first person to climb alone to the top of the massive granite wall without ropes or safety gear.

The climber scaled the granite wall in under four hours, in what Alpinist magazine says "is indisputably the greatest free solo of all time."
