Freestone Climb, Yosemite Falls

Photograph by Jimmy Chin

Kate Rutherford can’t hear a thing while climbing so close to the roar of Yosemite Falls.  She can’t find much to hang on to either.  The water polishes the rock “like glass.”  Wearing tape on her hands, she has to repeatedly jam them into fissures for the ascent.  Spectacular scenery makes up for the discomfort.  The climbing route is called Freestone, Rutherford says, because “it’s a peach of a route.”

I kind of want to be badass like this woman.
