A group for caring friends made a man with muscular dystrophy’s dream come true, by helping him climb part of the El Capitan’s vertical rock face in Yosemite National Park. Shue Vang, 31, and a 12 others from his Washington State climbing team headed to the world-renowned climbing route on Sunday, August 23. First, four climbers carried Shue to the base of El Capitan, where they attached him to another climber and used an electronic rescue device to help pull the pair 400 feet up the mountain. Taking in the view as he reached that height, Shue looked down and said: “It’s crazy! It’s literally vertical.” The climb was made possible by F5 Challenge, a faith-based adventure group that organizes hikes and climbs.
