Freerider | 7c+ Multi-pitch at El Capitan

With Ivan Tresch.

In a day.

Ben and partner Ivan Tresch were caught being light-fingered in a local shop and were given a court date a couple of days later. Unsure how the court appearance might go, they decided to make a quick one day ascent before going to court in case their freedoms were more limited after the appearance in front of the law. [1]

With Ben Bransby.

The second woman to free climb el cap after Lynn Hill's first ascent of The Nose.

Exactly a month later Steph freed the entire route in a day.

All free over 6 days, 5 nights with Bron and Chris. 3 falls, one each on the boulder problem, the second enduro corner and the 12a traverse, all sent second try. The best route I've ever done by some margin!

1 move off the onsight!

Fell on the last move of the 5.13a Boulder problem pitch.. and with that went the flash/onsite of the route. RP 2nd go. Every other pitch lead or seconded 1st go. The Monster Offwidth is unreal! What a beast!!! Tom Newberry pulled out all the stops dispite time pressure and fatigue to get it done as well! BRING ME MY COFFEE!

03hrs 57mins.

One of the wildest solo ascents ever.
