Video: Amity Warme and Brent Barghahn climb El Capitan's El Niño ground-up

Watch American climbers Amity Warme and Brent Barghahn making a ground-up free repeat of El Niño - Pineapple Express (5.13c, 25 pitches)⁣ on El Capitan in Yosemite, USA.

In an era where many climbers are using fixed ropes and sport-climbing tactics to free El Cap, climbers like Amity Warme and Brent Barghahn are choosing to keep adventure alive. Going ground up, in 2023 Warme and Barghahn pulled off a free ascent of the Pineapple Express variation of El Niño (5.13b/c) over eight days, battling variable conditions, friable rock, and, for Warme, a serious finger injury.
