B
Professional rock climber Emily Harrington has made history after successfully free climbing Yosemite National Park's El Capitan on 4 November 2020.
Harrington, 34, became the fourth person —and the first woman—to ever scale the 3,000foot El Capitan without the help of a rope or other equipment. “The people before me who have achieved this are kind of like some of my heroes in rock climbing,” she said, “so it feels pretty special to join that group.”
But Harrington's climb was not without injury—at one point, she slid and was left with a serious wound on her forehead that required her to take a break. “I took a fall and I couldn't get my feet out and my head actually hit the wall,” she recalled, “I got this wound on my forehead.I rested a little bit longer, bandaged(包扎) it up, and then tried again,” Harrington said, adding that although she “kind of didn't really want to try again,” she powered through because “ I felt like I should try again.”
After 21 hours and 13 minutes, Harrington scaled all of El Capitan, achieving a feat(壮举) she failed to finish twice last year. “That was my life dream. I achieved it,” she said.
Harrington said she's hopeful that her journey has inspired others. “I hope that as a result of my story more people will get to experience climbing, or at least try.”
Harrington previously scaled Mt. Qomolangma, the tallest mountain in the world.As a former member of the USA climbing team, Harrington has competed in five U.S. sport climbing championships and two North American championships.
