Agreed, the other replies to this question seem to understate the difficulty of the route. It's a lifetime achievement for almost any climber. I'd ballpark that it's been free climbed by 100-300 people?
- masterj 9y ago> I'd ballpark that it's been free climbed by 100-300 people? If you restrict that to people who've done it in a day you're probably down to a couple dozen at most.
- tmh79 9y agogotta be more than that, 100-300 per year maybe, on the lower end. 300 people total means like 10 people per season, I personally know more people who've climbed the nose.
- blackguardx 9y agoPeople are referring to free climbing this particular route, Freerider, which is 5.12d/5.13a. It gets done, but it is hard enough there are usually blurbs about it in magazines and in the climbing media when someone completes it without aid.

- givemefive 9y agofree or aided? Most people climb el capitan aided.
- maloney 9y agoThe nose has only been free climbed by 5 people. Context is pretty important when talking about aid vs free vs solo
