My favorite place in America
06.12.2026
My favorite place in America is Yosemite National Park. I started rock climbing in 2025, and on May 21st, it will mark 500 consecutive days of climbing. There is only one reason I continue training every single day — to achieve a solo ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite. I believe that challenge requires everything to come together: technique, physical strength, knowledge, experience, and the right gear. Little by little, I’ve been building my equipment collection, and recently I’ve started climbing routes around the 5.12b level. I also make it a point to climb outdoors at least once a month to continue gaining real rock experience. Someday, I hope to stand on top of that massive wall.
