Jorg Verhoeven and Katharina Saurwein climb Devils Tower El Matador

El Matador (5.11a) is one of the classic rock climbs on Devils Tower in Wyoming, USA. First ascended in 1967 by Fred Beckey and Eric Bjornstad and freed in 1978 by Chick Holtkamp and Robert Yoho. With its famous 40m stemming pitch it is an absolute must do, as Jorg Verhoeven and Katharina Saurwein demonstrate.
