El Capitan has a new queen: Sasha DiGiulian. The American climber has just spent 23 days on El Cap to free climb the Platinum route, 39 pitches up to 5.13d. She is the first woman to free climb this route, which was opened in 2016. Her determination paid off after several attempts and nine days stuck on the wall by a storm. Following in the footsteps of Lynn Hill, Sasha DiGiulian proves that women are continuing to revolutionize climbing in Yosemite.
