Elite female mountain climber speaks out after fall at Yosemite l ABC News

1. Crazy people who dont care if they die early

2. Leave it to the news to spread false information based on lack of topic knowledge.

3. Leave it to the news to spread false information based on lack of topic knowledge.

4. When things get highly technical, news reporting quality gets truly revealed.

5. This entire GMA panel is awful. Should be group fired. When Strahan smiles, I'm not sure if I should smile back or kick a field goal.

6. G forces misunderstanding. Her body was stopped by the rope she was attached to after falling probably 10-15 meters & NOT by the ground under many more meters down. Nobody survives a vertical 15 meter fall to the ground

7. It is so interesting to me how little network news people care about the facts. I cannot believe what a disservice they do to society. They can’t or don’t care to tell, even a simple story like this, correctly. Nobody should ever listen to this idiots.

8. Lucky playing with fire don’t feel sorry for these risk takers they know like Ueli Steck said before he fell off Nuptse thousands of feet.

9. She was not attempting a rope less climb, get the story right good God.

10. The reporters definitely free soloed this story.

11. It's amazing that she survived a fall off el cap with no ropes. Good thing alex was there to rescue her. In other news alex also rescued a baby who was at ground zero when a nuclear bomb detonated.

12. this gal has more troubles then most climbers

13. Free climbing is insane. They should be liable for rescues

14. No he didn’t forget to comb his hair. Alex don’t play that!

15. I love Alex but he is either going to get killed or someone he free solos with. It's inevitable. Even in trad climbing.

16. lol these reporters are a joke and wayyy overpaid…

17. The journalist is an idiot

18. Incorrect terms

19. Jesums cricket. I have an associates degree in communications and could research, write and produce this segment. Riddled with horrors this one is. ABC 😒

20. Are we really surprised ABC (lib news media) doesn't accurately report the news?

21. Hate how the news made out like Emily would have died if anyone but Alex were there lol. As a climber I have massive respect for Alex and Emily (who has since become the first woman to free climb the route she was attempting here!) Funny watching poor Alex having to explain and debunk all ABC’s attempts to make it seem like Emily was in over her head 🙄 Guess it was a light news day…

22. Terrible inaccurate news report

23. White people.

24. He caught the rope so all the people that talked bad about Alex get real please.

25. She got injured because she hit her head off a rock cause she fell from a bad angle 🤦🏼‍♂️ there were ropes to catch her. They act like Alex saved her life he just grabbed the rope so she wouldn’t fall further but the rope would still catch her. “Thank God you were there Alex” lol this news station I swear

26. Shittiest most ill-reported segment in history

27. she did it!

30. Yosemite Search and Rescue are bad ass rescue workers!

31. Hello Emily 🌹You Are A Very Brave Young Lady. You fell off the cliff, but never gave up. 🎼🎊🇺🇸 CONGRATULATIONS 🌟🎉 You Did It 🥇🧗 November 2020, First Lady to climb the El Capitan in one day.🥂🇺🇸🎼 from Susie 🌺 in Albuquerque NM USA ☮️

32. The comments are making it hard to decide who’s the bigger douchebags: climbers or cyclists. At least climbers don’t break traffic laws 😂😂😂

33. She's so tough. And Alex is such a good dude being there for her

34. It's unfortunate that the news can't even get the basic facts correct. Useless and irresponsible.

35. work at a kids hospital if you want heroics and bravado – don't risk your life, constantly, and for no intelligent reasons at all upon your death except 'the bit of rock gave way' ——————————– heroics for literally NO reward is the height of (groan) what not to do. And though we don't know you, we don't want to hear about your untimely deaths.

36. 😢😢😢😢😢😢

37. Wait she was free soloing, not free climbing? Honnold free solo'd it. I think this report is all messed up. He keeps saying she had no ropes, but i'm pretty sure she was free climbing, not free solo.

38. #men #winning

39. I feel like the only reason this was covered was because GMA could capitalize on a woman climber having an accident where she was "dramatically saved" and they could connect to Honnold and Free Solo to bump up views. As a climber who was familiar with the incident, the misinformation in the intro that Honnold corrected (e.g. free climb vs. free solo, explaining how/why the fall actually happened, clarifying tensions in the climbing community) was irritating, in addition to Robin Roberts trying to interrupt Alex when he was explaining what actually happened. It's interesting to me that they would cover this story, patronizing a woman and using popularity of an Oscar film, but not the death of Brad Gobright (a well known climber and one of the only people who has successfully free climbed the route Harrington was attempting) which happened on the same day this clip was published (11/27/19).

40. How and why does this make the news? WHO GIVES A F*CK?

41. LAUGHING LAUGHING LAUGHING OUR MOTHER GAIA MOUNTAIN SHOWED U HUH…. STAY OFF OUR SACRED MOTHER MOUNTAIN… SHE DESERVES EVERYTHING THAT HAPPEN TO HER.. SO PLEASE CLIMB OUR SACRED MOUNTAIN AGAIN.. DO IT AGAIN… GET'EM DIVINE MOTHER…. X 13X13X13X13 BE BLESSED!! YEAH, HE IS DEAD NOW AN ELITE CLIMBER… OUR DIVINE MOTHER FIXED U GUYS… SHE HAS A LONG MEMORY….LAUGHING..X13X13X13X13…..

42. She was using ropes free climbing isn’t freesoloing, also they treated it like falling is just some insane thing but it happens all the time this was just an unlikely really bad fall

43. I wish these journalist would read the comments 😂

44. I like how people in the comments think news stations are going to get the details right.
    They can't even figure the internet out yet, and their video is on it.

45. they all eventually get hurt or die. they lack that gene that says this is dangerous to my life.

46. World class shows picture mangled in icu lol
