Conquering El Capitan is not for the faint of heart.
Selah's ascent comes days after the one year anniversary of the deaths of two best friends and veteran climbing partners who fell from the perilous summit.
On June 2, 2018, Tim Klein, 42, of Palmdale, California, and Jason Wells, 46, of Boulder, Colorado, plummeted an estimated 1,000 feet from the face of rock formation.
Investigators said the men were scaling El Capitan's Salathe Wall with limited gear on what experts described as the easiest section of a route called 'Freeblast,' which both men had navigated
