Check out Cedar Wright and Lucho Rivera as they make the first free ascent of the Southwest face of Liberty Cap in Yosemite. After Rivera is hit by rockfall and breaks his collarbone on the route four years earlier, the pair return to successfully make the first ascent, a climb Wright describes as “the best first ascent of my life.” See the Rock and Ice news report for more information on this groundbreaking climb.
