Achieving the Impossible Text by Carlos R. BaĂąales / Imaginante Films This article was translated by Antonieta Valenzuela It is 5:32 am on Saturday, June 3, 2017. Alex Honnold has begun climbing El Capitan without any gear or safety equipment, only using the strength of his body and the ability to climb.

Let us allow him to continue climbing for a moment and we will come back to him later. Located in the Yosemite National Park in the eastern side of San Francisco, in California, is El Capitan or El Cap, a vertical rock formation composed of granite that rises 7568 feet above sea level. This is a natural monolith that has become the most important challenge in the sport of climbing around the world.
