An Elevated Wake-Up

Occurred on April 23, 2023 / Yosemite National Park, California, USA

Info from Licensor: "Jim Reynolds waking up on a portaledge high above Yosemite Valley, Spring 2023, during a climbing ascent of one of Yosemite’s famous Big Walls (a route called The Prow, on Washington’s column. Originally climbed by legendary pioneer Royal Robbins in 1969.) Jim was on the wall for 11 days, attempting the first free ascent of the Prow (using ropes for safety, but only hands and feet for upward progress. As opposed to ‘Aid Climbing’- artificial means for upward progress.) Jim did not succeed, but will return subsequent seasons to try again."
