Lynn Hill On The Nose

Lynn Hill On The Nose is a compact, high-impact glimpse into one of climbing’s most iconic objectives: El Capitan’s Nose in Yosemite. Built around excerpts from Lynn Hill’s own process, it drops you into the days of working out sequences, dialing approach, and turning a legendary big-wall line into something that could be free climbed—capturing the focus and experimentation behind her 1994 push. What makes this worth watching is how clearly it shows the craft behind the history: movement by movement problem-solving, commitment on steep granite, and the quiet confidence it takes to keep coming back until the pieces fit. It’s inspiring without hype—part training session, part time capsule—reminding you that breakthroughs are earned in small, deliberate steps, and that precision and persistence can rewrite what’s possible on a wall.
