Before
6th big wall route on El Capitan and the first to be established in one push from the ground by a 2 man team. Named after John Muir, Scottish-American naturalist, environmental activist and co-founder of the Sierra Club. Two free versions, [preMuir](/climb/5423/premuir) and [The Shaft](/climb/6381/the-shaft), both have some variations from the original aid line. First clean ascent: Steve Grossman (1990) ### References [1] [https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/12196604600/Muir-WallEl-Capitan](https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/12196604600/Muir-WallEl-Capitan) [2] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir) [3] [https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105924815/muir-wall](https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105924815/muir-wall)

<p>An epic ground-up attempt that ended 10m of climbing short of success. "We ended up spending about three months working the route, from the bottom up, the next summer, following in the footsteps of TM Herbert and Yvon Chouinard, who did the route in 1965 with no fixed ropes or support. We wanted to find the same kind of adventure and honor the first ascent in the same style".
