Lake Tahoe resident recovering from brutal El Capitan fall

LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - South Lake Tahoe TedX speaker, professional climber and Lake Tahoe resident Emily Harrington is recuperating from a brutal fall at El Capitan in Yosemite Sunday.

San Francisco Chronical reporter Gregory Thomas posted this story today:

Emily Harrington had made the same climb without falling at least 15 or 20 times before. She was 150 feet off the ground, working on the most ambitious climbing project of her career: a one-day free climb of one of the hardest routes up El Capitan, the 3,000-foot granite wall that looms over Yosemite Valley. Completing it would make her the first woman to achieve the feat.
