Watch a Speed Ascent of Zenyetta Mondatta

In the fall of 2014, David Allfrey, Skiy Detray and Cheyne Lempe set the new speed ascent time of the El Capitan’s 16-pitch Zenyatta Mondatta A4.

The classic big wall route was first climbed in March 1981 by Jim Bridwell, Peter Mayfield and Charlie Row in no less than a week.
