<p>The first route to breach the south east face of El Capitan by the all-star team of Robbins, Pratt, Frost &amp; Chouinard. It was graded A5 and regarded as probably the hardest in the world of its genre at the time of ascent. </p> <blockquote> <p>We all felt similarly about the climb — it was not an appealing wall. It did not have the elegance or majesty of the southwest face. The treacherous dark rock, the difficulty of retreat due to great overhangs and long traverses, the absence of a natural route, and finally the apparent necessity for many bolts rendered us not happily enthusiastic about the venture. A large part of our individual selves did not want to attempt this face.

<p>The first route to breach the south east face of El Capitan by the all-star team of Robbins, Pratt, Frost &amp; Chouinard. After several exploratory attempts by Robbins with Glen Denny and Tom Frost the ascent was accomplished in one go with no fixed ropes in contrast to previous ascents of The Nose, West Buttress and Dihedral Wall.
