Jorg Verhoeven crack climbing in Yosemite, USA
Jon Glassberg / Louder than 11
After a highly successful competition career, Jorg Verhoeven and Katharina Saurwein decided to concentrate fully on climbing outdoors. Although they have visited Yosemite valley on numerous occasions in the past and clocked up milage on big walls such as The Nose and Dihedral Wall on El Capitan, one of their goals after fully retiring from competitions was to try some of the classic single pitches. Here’s the couple of calibre climbs such as Separate Reality, Cosmic Debris, The Phoenix, Fish Crack and Peace.
