Climbing Free: Lynn Hill at Stanford University

An iconic American climber, Lynn Hill is acknowledged as one of the most accomplished rock climbers in the world.  Having learned to climb in southern California in 1975, Lynn was part of a cutting edge generation of free climbers known as the "Stone Masters."  Her most notable achievement came after retiring from the competition scene.

Lynn's first free ascent of the Nose on El Capitan in 1993, followed by her one-day free ascent of the Nose in 1994, remained unrepeated for over a decade and helped define the modern era of free climbing.
