Watch Catherine Destivelle Free-Solo Devils Tower

One of the most rad free-solos caught on film in the 1990s

Some classic footage from 1992 of Catherine Destivelle, one of the greatest alpinists of her generation, soloing the classic El Matador 5.10d on Devils Tower.

She begins by rope soloing and plugging cams, but then later unties and free solos the rest of the way.
