Climbing to Greatness...Falling for a Dream | A Death in Yosemite on El Capitan

Описание: By his late teens, Balin Miller was already chasing serious climbs in Alaska, spending every spare moment in the mountains. Yosemite had lived in his mind for years, not as a dream, but as a reckoning. One route stood above the rest: Sea of Dreams on El Capitan. In late September 2025, Balin arrived in Yosemite. He wasn’t just chasing another climb; he was stepping into the same gauntlet that had tested generations before him, believing, as they did, that skill and preparation could keep the line between greatness and catastrophe intact. But on El Cap, something would go horribly wrong and shake the climbing world.
