8-year-old Sam Baker has made history, becoming the youngest to climb and summit El Capitan in California's Yosemite National Park.
Sam Baker has made history as the youngest to ever climb the El Capitan rock formation in Yosemite National Park in California., the revered rock formation in California's Yosemite National Park that's widely regarded as one of the most difficult rock formations to climb.
"We made it! And then had a little party with our disco ball," Joe said on Instagram. "My wife accidentally brought up our double sleeping bag and so Sam wanted to end our adventure with a cuddle. What an amazing week! I'm so proud of Sam. He completed the youngest rope ascent of ElCap! In a few years he might be be back breaking more records."
Sam has been rock climbing nearly his entire life and first climbed the Garden of the Gods rock formation in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at age 3, according to his website. Since then, he's climbed other major rock formations, including Lost Arrow Spire and Fairview Dome, also both in Yosemite. He told "Good Morning America" ahead of his history-breaking climb that he felt "really excited but also a little nervous," noting that the climb was a "humungous" one.
