Our three day climb of El Capitan was without doubt, the most intense adventure experience of our lives. For the first time ever, we were putting ourselves in an environment that would punish mistakes with fatal consequences. Having never climbed 18 months prior, we put an adventure mindset to the test like never before, having to learn the complexities of big wall rock climbing in a short period of time, and having to control our fear and anxiety throughout the year long training programme. The 72 hours on El Capitan were a balance of pure adrenaline, fear, focus and exhaustion.
