BURSTAmity Warme, one of America’s most accomplished big wall free climbers, has repeated PreMuir Wall, a 33-pitch 5.13c/d, on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. PreMuir Wall was also recently freed by Italians Camilla Moroni and Pietro Vidi, read about it here.
About her send, Warme noted: “I did a handful of day missions from the ground to check out the first couple of crux pitches and prehaul supplies before committing to a push. Once on the wall, I swapped leads with Brent for most of the route but led every crux pitch. I did use some preplaced gear in the stem corner and the final 13c. And finally, I took the no hands stance in the stem pitch as my first time ever ‘stancing’ a pitch because I did not have time to retry the entire thing in trying to work around both the sun/heat situation and an upcoming storm day.”
PreMuir Wall follows sections of the Muir Wall and The Shaft, in addition to other hard pitches. It was freed in 2007 by Rob Miller and Justin Sjong, and has since been repeated by only a handful of climbers, including James McHaffie, Hazel Findlay, Hazel Findlay, Moroni, Vidi and Warme.
Some of Warme’s previous big sends in Yosemite include: El Niño (5.13c, 25 pitches, ground-up); El Corazón (5.13b, 32 pitches, ground-up); Freerider In A Day (5.13a, 32 pitches, self-supported, no rehearsal or stashing); Father Time (5.13b, 20 pitches, ground-up) Golden Gate (5.13a, 33 pitches, ground-up).
