Watch Billy Ridal & Alex Waterhouse vs The Nose on El Capitan

Billy Ridal and Alex Waterhouse are two recently retired competition climbers that attempt to apply their indoor skills to real rock in the most extra-ordinary fashion. With almost no traditional climbing experience and barely a multi-pitch climb between them, this audacious duo set out to be the first Britons to make a free ascent of the world famous The Nose on El Capitan, Yosemite.

The route was first climbed free by Lynn Hill in 1993 and has sub-sequently only recieved eight ascents in 30 years. To say the odds were stacked against them would be an understatement comparable in size to the route itself. Their unlikely journey to success has been documented by Alastair Lee for the upcoming Brit Rock Film Tour, and features contributions from Lynn Hill, Hans Florine and Leo Houlding.
