With its world-famous monoliths and domes of rock, Yosemite Valley is an El Dorado for those seeking granite rock. Very few areas have played such a significant role in the history of climbing. Lynn Hill became a climbing legend when she made the first free ascent of The Nose on El Capitan in 1993. Kevin Jorgeson and Tommy Caldwell were the first to free climb the Dawn Wall in 2015, the most difficult multi-pitch route in the world.
