Darwin Dixit Sport route 8b+ 7

The route has suffered various breaks. It started off at 8c, then was around 8b+ when Dave Macleod made his solo ascent in 2008 but had gone back up to 8c by the time Jorge Díaz-Rullo made his solo ascent in 2021.

El Niño Trad climb E8 7

Only the third ever route to be free climbed on El Capitan, after Salathé Wall and The Nose. Incorporates parts of Continental Drift (a mixed free and aid route) then largely follows the North America Wall climbed free in its upper half. Until discovery of the Pineapple Express Variation all ascents used a short pendulum to overcome a 10m blank section.
