Video: Barbara Zangerl's historic 'Freerider' flash on El Capitan

The film documenting the first flash ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite, carried out by Barbara Zangerl with Jacopo Larcher on 'Freerider' in November 2024.

In November 20024, Austria's Barbara Zangerl successfully completed a remarkable flash ascent of Freerider, the 1000m big wall on El Capitan in Yosemite established in 1995 by Alexander Huber, freed in 1998 with his brother Thomas Huber, and rendered world-famous by Alex Honnold's audacious free solo in June 2017.

36-year-old Zangerl ushered in a new level with her no-falls ascent, while her climbing partner Jacopo Larcher narrowly missed the flash after just one fall on the crux on the crux of the Huber Pitch, aka as the Boulder Problem Pitch. Here is the video of their 3-day ascent.
