Few adults can say they successfully scaled Yosemite National Park's famous El Capitan .
That's why it's even more impressive that a 10-year-old from Colorado just did it.
Selah Schneiter may have just became the youngest person in history to climb the park's 3,000-foot-high rock formation, reaching the summit on June 12, 2019.
Aided by her father and a family friend, the trio spent five days in Yosemite Valley using a rope climbing technique known as jumaring to tackle a famously steep route known as the Nose.
"Our big motto was 'How do you eat an elephant?' Small bites. One pitch at a time, one move at a time, one day at a time," Schneiter told CNN affiliate KFSN in Fresno.
Many experienced climbers consider the Nose to be the most iconic big-wall climb in the world.
Schneiter comes from a family of hikers who developed a special connection to Yosemite's trails. Her father, Mike, is a climbing instructor, and claims to have fallen in love with Schneiter's mother, Joy, while hiking in Yosemite years prior.
Schneiter's father posted about the accomplishment on his company's Instagram account, garnering hundreds of likes and comments applauding his daughter's singular accomplishments.
Ni watu wazima wachache wanaoweza kusema kwamba wamefanikiwa kupanda El Capitan maarufu ya Mbuga ya Kitaifa ya Yosemite. Kwa hiyo, ni muhimu sana kwamba mtoto wa miaka kumi kutoka Colorado anafanya hivyo. Selah Schneider amekuwa mtu mdogo zaidi katika historia ya kupanda mwamba wa mita 3,000 katika Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi ya Hifadhi. Baada ya kupewa msaada wa baba yake na rafiki wa familia, kikundi hicho cha watu watatu kilitumia siku tano katika bonde la Yosemite, wakitumia mbinu ya kupanda kamba inayojulikana kama jumpering, ili kukabiliana na njia yenye mwinuko inayojulikana kama Nose. "Motoo wetu mkubwa ulikuwa 'Unawezaje kula tembo?' Vipande vidogo-vidogo. "Kila hatua, kila hatua, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku, kila siku.""" Wapanda-milima wengi wenye uzoefu huona Mlango-Mwitu kuwa mlima maarufu zaidi ulimwenguni. Schneiter anatoka katika familia ya wapanda-milima ambao walipata uhusiano wa pekee na njia za Yosemite. Baba yake, Mike, ni mwalimu wa kupanda, na anadai kuwa amempenda mama ya Schneiter, Joy, wakati wa kutembea huko Yosemite miaka iliyopita. Baba ya Schneider aliandika juu ya mafanikio hayo kwenye akaunti ya kampuni yake ya Instagram, akipata mamia ya likes na maoni ya kusifu mafanikio ya binti yake.
