Every photo from that article shows him climbing with ropes and google more into it he definitely didn't free solo that face of El Cap. permalink fedilink source parent [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago The article is wrong. You can clearly see Adams lead line in the picture in the article. Adam on The Dawn Wall was super impressive - iirc, he sent the route in a single ground-up push or something like that, when it took Tommy, like, 8 years to establish the route. But he def didn't solo it.
