Watch Connor Herson climb Yosemite's Magic Line

The video of Connor Herson making the rare repeat of 'Magic Line' (8.14c/8c+), one of the most difficult crack climbs in Yosemite Valley.

On 19 October 2024 American climber Connor Herson made a rare repeat of Magic Line located at the base of the Vernal Falls in Yosemite. This stunning thin crack climb was first ascended by legendary Stonemaster Ron Kauk back in 1996 with pre-placed gear, and had to wait until 2016 for its second ascent, at the hands of Kauk's son, Lonnie. In November 2018 Kauk junior took things to their logical conclusion and climbed the route placing all the gear on lead, confirming the route's beauty and 5.14c difficulty.
