YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK (KSEE) – Emily Harrington, a top climber, miraculously had only cuts and bruises after falling on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, she announced on her social media.
Harrington was trying to scale a route on the 3,200-foot granite monolith when she fell.
“I’m banged up but gonna be ok thankfully. Not much to say except I took a bad fall and pin balled a bit then somehow hit the rope w my neck,” Harrington posted on Instagram.
She was rescued by several other climbers including Alex Honnold, the first person to climb El Capitan without a safety rope and the subject of the 2018 documentary “Free Solo.”
Harrington said on her Instagram post, “Thanks everyone who sent kind messages and thoughts – feeling so supported and loved.”
