Learn About Aid Systems: Be sure you understand hauling, jummaring, rigging with more than one rope and how to set up a portaledge. Be overly prepared and it might not seem too bad.
Don’t Rush It: Most climbers will only head up El Capitan once in their lives. It’s best to sit back and enjoy it.
Be Prepared to Work Hard: Big wall climbing is physical, mental and emotional. You’re going to work hard, your elbow and forearms will hurt and you’ll walk away a little more beaten up than you arrived.
