  • At the top the most famous big wall, below the most famous climbing camp ground and, in its centre, the most famous boulder on the planet: El Capitan, Camp 4, Midnight Lightning. Without this triumvirate, the Yosemite Valley would not be the most famous climbing area in the world! However, it was by no means easy for a boulder to rise to legendary status here in the homeland of iconic bigwalls such as Nose and Salathé.

    4:45 That has to be the most beautiful mantle move I have ever seen.

    Ron is a solid gent! After living in the valley in the 80s 90s its great to see his humility passing on the spirt of the rock.

    What a great series, please do more. I love that you are doing oldschool classics and bringing on the person who did the FA

    Love how Ron brings up Bachar and Yabo, both dearly departed, standouts in their day!

    Just discovered this video... Kauk is one of the true OGs of Camp 4 and Yosemite climbing. Hero...

    This is the cleanest send on Midnight Lightning I've ever seen.

      Definitely you can tell it was a piece of cake for this guy, he sent it without any effort. Basically, a warm up.

    I can't even imagine doing this problem in front of Ron Kauk. Unbelievably special.

    Opportunity of timing my man! 1978 wow! 10 years ahead at least. Nice to see and hear someone of interest talk about climbing.

    "Yablonski and Bacchar standing there looking at this..." I had no idea Jon Yablonski was such a pioneer. I thought he was just a tortured soul in my high school art class. And I am sure I saw another Los Gatos High alumnus do midnight lighting around 1976 or 77... Mark Blanchard... wonder if he gone now too?

      Not exactly but the mother of his children is... her father is Ahwahneechee (native of Yosemite Valley) and her mother is from a Coastal Tribe, I think Coastal Miwok?
