The Nose route on El Capitan at Yosemite National Park is one of the most challenging climbs out there. For 10-year-old Selah Schneiter, it was just part of her summer vacation. By climbing El Capitan, Schneiter became the youngest person to climb the 3,000-foot Nose route, according to CNN.

Recently, climber Alex Honnold, who holds the speed record for the Nose route and became the first person to climb the route on El Capitan free solo (documented in the Academy Award-winning film Free Solo), returned to the mountain to climb the El Niño route. Honnold and his climbing partner Brad Gobright made a free ascent of the El Niño, just the second pair to ever do it. Check out more on El Capitan and Alex Honnold’s climbs at Yosemite:
