El Capitan, The Nose (Yosemite)
Paul Hara
One of the most tricky moments during every repeat of The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite is the King Swing, the enormous pendulum that leads from Boot Flake around the arête to Eagle Ledge. It's always an exciting moment, regardless of how many times you've done it, and who better to explain it than The Nose Speed record man Hans Florine?
