Adam Ondra's Historic Free Climb of El Capitan I was wondering who would be climbing El Capitan at night, but when you have a record to break, every minute is precious. I learned after my workshop last week that we had captured Adam Ondra on his record-breaking free climb of El Capitan on the night of November 15. Outside Magazine has the full story: How Adam Ondra Pulled Off the Dawn Wall http://www.outsideonline.com/2138561/how-adam-ondra-pulled-dawn-wall #AdamOndra #climbing #Yosemite #ElCapitan #news #nightphotography #photographyworkshop #landscapephotography
