I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

He did his best not to wake them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I woke up one guy and he sort of said, 'Oh, hey.' Then when I went by, I think he discreetly woke up his buddies because when I looked down they were all three standing there like, 'What the f***?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By conquering El Capitan, Honnold fulfilled a goal he had worked toward for years. He first wrote about the potential record-setting climb in his journal in 2009 — but he repeatedly found reasons to set it aside, as he said last year on the \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/banff-centre-radio/ep-14-alex-honnold\">Basecamp podcast\u003c/a> with \u003cem>Gripped\u003c/em> editor Brandon Pullan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obviously, that's like, the thing to do,\" Honnold said when discussing El Capitan with Pullan in 2016. \"It's always seemed really scary.\"[contextly_sidebar id=\"Bdljz810yxUzvk1q0vTpkMasigQofKZs\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honnold, 31, has become famous for eye-popping ascents that rely on his unique blend of athleticism and mental focus, ascending Yosemite's Half Dome and Zion National Park's Moonlight Buttress. But \u003ca href=\"http://gripped.com/news/alex-honnold-makes-historic-first-free-solo-of-el-capitan/\">Gripped says\u003c/a> of Honnold's El Capitan free-solo climb, \"this is by far the most groundbreaking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Honnold said in the podcast that he found the idea of free-soloing the monolith \"out of the question,\" he also told Pullan that he'd been studying it for years and \"El Cap is definitely doable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, there are two routes that you could potentially do, like Freeride or Golden Gate — they're the two easiest free routes,\" Honnold said, in a statement that only makes sense coming from someone who's often called one of the greatest rock climbers the world has ever seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The challenges on El Capitan, he said, start early, no matter which route you take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They all start with Freeblast, which is like a 10-pitch slab,\" Honnold said, adding that large sections of the granite slab are \"basically like walking on a sheet of glass.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crux of one pitch, he said, is \"like this no-hands, foot traverse thing, where you're just like, shuffling across a blank wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honnold added, \"That's before the [main] wall even starts.

Then when I went by, I think he discreetly woke up his buddies because when I looked down they were all three standing there like, 'What the f***?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By conquering El Capitan, Honnold fulfilled a goal he had worked toward for years. He first wrote about the potential record-setting climb in his journal in 2009 — but he repeatedly found reasons to set it aside, as he said last year on the \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/banff-centre-radio/ep-14-alex-honnold\">Basecamp podcast\u003c/a> with \u003cem>Gripped\u003c/em> editor Brandon Pullan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obviously, that's like, the thing to do,\" Honnold said when discussing El Capitan with Pullan in 2016. \"It's always seemed really scary.\"\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honnold, 31, has become famous for eye-popping ascents that rely on his unique blend of athleticism and mental focus, ascending Yosemite's Half Dome and Zion National Park's Moonlight Buttress. But \u003ca href=\"http://gripped.com/news/alex-honnold-makes-historic-first-free-solo-of-el-capitan/\">Gripped says\u003c/a> of Honnold's El Capitan free-solo climb, \"this is by far the most groundbreaking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Honnold said in the podcast that he found the idea of free-soloing the monolith \"out of the question,\" he also told Pullan that he'd been studying it for years and \"El Cap is definitely doable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean, there are two routes that you could potentially do, like Freeride or Golden Gate — they're the two easiest free routes,\" Honnold said, in a statement that only makes sense coming from someone who's often called one of the greatest rock climbers the world has ever seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The challenges on El Capitan, he said, start early, no matter which route you take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They all start with Freeblast, which is like a 10-pitch slab,\" Honnold said, adding that large sections of the granite slab are \"basically like walking on a sheet of glass.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crux of one pitch, he said, is \"like this no-hands, foot traverse thing, where you're just like, shuffling across a blank wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honnold added, \"That's before the [main] wall even starts.

Now, there are fewer than 100 every year, says Yosemite National Park wildlife biologist Ryan Leahy. That's because park rangers have worked to educate the public on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/bears.htm\">storing food properly\u003c/a>, and Leahy says they now use technology to track the bears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leahy works in a cabin on the edge of Yosemite Valley. He's tracking bears online in real time using the GPS collars the animals wear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, he says, human interaction with bears often resulted in having to kill the animals. By using these tracking tools, fewer and fewer bears are killed. If a bear gets too close to people, Leahy's team can scare it away, catch it or relocate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracking data from the past few years points to another trend: Bears are being hit by cars, and speeding is now their biggest threat. Leahy says 28 were hit last year, and many of them died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're talking about 10 percent of our bears potentially being hit by vehicles each year,\" he says. \"Just slowing down a little bit will give you that stopping distance required to prevent a collision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11418748\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11418748\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Black bears are tracked in Yosemite using telemetry and GPS collars.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832.jpg 1998w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black bears are tracked in Yosemite using telemetry and GPS collars. \u003ccite>(Ezra David Romero/Valley Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The key, he says, is education.

Now, there are fewer than 100 every year, says Yosemite National Park wildlife biologist Ryan Leahy. That's because park rangers have worked to educate the public on \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/bears.htm\">storing food properly\u003c/a>, and Leahy says they now use technology to track the bears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leahy works in a cabin on the edge of Yosemite Valley. He's tracking bears online in real time using the GPS collars the animals wear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, he says, human interaction with bears often resulted in having to kill the animals. By using these tracking tools, fewer and fewer bears are killed. If a bear gets too close to people, Leahy's team can scare it away, catch it or relocate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tracking data from the past few years points to another trend: Bears are being hit by cars, and speeding is now their biggest threat. Leahy says 28 were hit last year, and many of them died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're talking about 10 percent of our bears potentially being hit by vehicles each year,\" he says. \"Just slowing down a little bit will give you that stopping distance required to prevent a collision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11418748\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11418748\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Black bears are tracked in Yosemite using telemetry and GPS collars.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/248424-photo-3-577eedb4615d69db7fa31c13313bd910f0acb832.jpg 1998w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black bears are tracked in Yosemite using telemetry and GPS collars. \u003ccite>(Ezra David Romero/Valley Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The key, he says, is education.

How to deal with those impossibly grand views and angles of monumental granite.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12938823\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12938823\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-800x1077.jpg\" alt='\"Untitled No. 8\" from The Yosemite Suite, 2010, by David Hockney.' width=\"800\" height=\"1077\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-800x1077.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-160x215.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-768x1034.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-1020x1373.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-1920x2584.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-1180x1588.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-960x1292.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-240x323.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-375x505.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut-520x700.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/03/RS24691_62615_06_HOCKNEY-qut.jpg 1522w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Untitled No. 8” from The Yosemite Suite, 2010, by David Hockney. \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of David Hockney)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hockney clearly isn’t intimidated by Yosemite or its legacy on canvas or photo stock. “He’s not afraid to play with places that are very familiar to us,” says \u003ca href=\"http://art.sdsu.edu/profiles/bridget-gilman/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bridget Gilman\u003c/a>, an assistant professor of art history at San Diego State University. “There are all these ways in which a place that’s familiar could be a launching point for some kind of experimentation with materials.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hockney’s application of iPad painting to one of the nation’s most iconic landmarks ultimately recalls John Muir’s description of the park in \u003cem>The Yosemite\u003c/em>: “From the eastern boundary of this vast golden flower-bed rose the mighty Sierra, miles in height, and so gloriously colored and so radiant, it seemed not clothed with light but wholly composed of it, like the wall of some celestial city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"Q.Logo.Break\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>David Hockey’s ‘Yosemite Suite’ is on view at the Pace Gallery in Palo Alto through Sunday, May 7.

They married in the Yosemite Valley Chapel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that’s the first time they ever had that many Native Americans in that church,” Coats says. “We had our ceremony there. Mrs. Adams sang at our wedding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s photographer Ansel Adams’ wife, Virginia Best. Coats baby-sat their children as a teenager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coats and her husband have now been married almost 65 years. They live in a small beige house perched on a hillside off a highway that leads into Yosemite Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Coats says, she rarely takes the road into the park. “Everything in the Valley has changed so much,” she says. “It doesn’t feel like home anymore. Nope it doesn’t feel like home. I’d say if they could change the mountains, they’d probably do that, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JggvenDPcuc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the landmarks she knew as a child are gone: the old Indian Village where she was born, the new Indian Village where she lived as an adult, even some of the trees she used as markers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to visualize everything in my head,” she says. “It’s the rocks that I really go by now 'cause the rocks never change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, even new landmarks have disappeared, signs with names derived from Native American words. Ahwahnee, the word for the Valley, comes from Awhaneechee, Coats says -- the name for the Miwoks who lived there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Originally those were native names,” she says. “So if you really want to get technical, who really put the names there to begin with, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But names like the Ahwahnee and the Wawona are gone, at least for now, while the park service and its former concessionaire, Delaware North, battle out the cost of these trademarks in court.

Luckily, just a few weeks before our final ascent, I found a way around it, so that's the way I ended up having to go.\" - Caldwell\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you prepare?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me the majority of my training was spent on the wall. You know I trained in the offseason, but where I made the most strides was every season spending that time on the wall because again I had no experience with El Cap prior to joining Tommy on this. ... Learning that new language on the University of El Cap is the only place you can make that progress for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a huge learning curve. I don't think I could have done the Dawn Wall any sooner than when we did physically, because it's not just a physical thing . ... There's this whole mental element of composure and confidence and belief that takes time to be built, and I think that's the most important part of my training in the process of getting ready for them all.\" - Jorgeson\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/219122274&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/219122274'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
