Cossey & Lawry cut it up Yosemite style... Australian Lee Cossey made a ground-up free ascent of El Niņo (5.13c, 30 pitches) on El Capitan (Yosemite), onsighting or flashing all but three pitches, including four of the seven 5.13 pitches. He freed the remaining 5.13 leads on his second go. The ascent took six days. The previous week, Cossey and Lawrence Dermody completed Freerider, with both climbers freeing every pitch.
