Even so, this story about the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.nationalgeographic.com\/news\/2015\/01\/150109-climbing-yosemite-caldwell-jorgeson-capitan\/\">current attempt by two professional climbers to free climb up Yosemite Park&#8217;s El Capitan\u00a0<\/a>is impressive. One man is arguably the best climber in the world (Tommy Caldwell). Both have been planning the route and training parts of it for the last 2 years. Hand holds are often little more than the thickness of a quarter. Caldwell&#8217;s partner\u00a0Kevin Jorgeson\u00a0was stuck at this one particular point, known to be the hardest pass on the whole wall, for a week! But while Caldwell could have continued on to ensure he made it to the top to claim the title of the first to complete the feat, he chose to wait for his friend. A great story of perseverance, will, teamwork, human achievement, and hopefully, glory.<\/li>\n<li>Furniture Transformers!
