ClimbingVideos

12 years after the first ascent of the Dihedral Wall (5.14a / 8b +) in Yosemite Valley by Tommy Caldwell, the route was repeated for the first time at the end of last year. The Dutchman Jorg Verhoeven worked on the route for several weeks. He climbed it freely in five days.

He received support from his wife, the Austrian Katharina Saurwein. Katharina, on the other hand, was looking for another project and successfully climbed during her stay at Yosemite: Final Frontier (5.13 / 8a). Today the video about the trip from Jorg and Katharina in the historic climbing area.
