Selah Schneiter, from the US, scaled The Nose route over five days with dad Mike, an experienced climber, and a family friend.

A 10-year-old girl has made rock climbing history by becoming the youngest person on record to scale Yosemite's iconic El Capitan.

Selah Schneiter, from Colorado, climbed the 3,000ft route - known as The Nose - over five days with her father Mike, an experienced climber, and a family friend. She reached the summit on 12 June after using a rope climbing technique known as jumaring to tackle the famously steep rock formation. After reaching the top of the granite monolith in central California, Selah celebrated her feat with a pizza."I just can't believe I just did that," she said in a video captured after her impressive achievement."Our big motto was 'How do you eat an elephant?' Small bites. One pitch at a time, one move at a time, one day at a time," she told KFSN in Fresno.

Few adults can say they have successfully reached El Capitan's zenith, with many experienced climbers considering The Nose to be the most iconic big-wall climb in the world.
