Alex Honnold became the first person to scale El Capitan, the 3,000-foot granite wall in California's Yosemite National Park, without the assistance of ropes or other safety gear Saturday.
It took the 31-year-old just under four hours to complete the ascent, which is higher than the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
A team of filmmakers, including Honnold's longtime climbing partner, Jimmy Chin, was on hand to capture the feat for an upcoming National Geographic documentary feature.
