Two US climbers - who spent more than two weeks climbing the El Capitan in Yosemite National Park - have finally reached the summit of the 3,000ft (914m) rock.

Kevin Jorgeson, 30, and Tommy Caldwell, 36 are the first climbers to do so without aids, except for ropes to prevent deadly falls. They began their climbing on 27 December 2014.During the climb the pair slept in tents suspended from the mountain face.

Spokeswoman Jess Clayton had earlier said the men would not give interviews at the top but    would discuss the climb on Thursday. 

Eric Jorgeson, Kevin Jorgeson's father, told local media his son had always been a climber and watching him fulfil a long-time dream makes him proud. "He climbed everything he could think of. It made us nervous early on as parents, but we got used to it," he said.He and his son had begun climbing the other routes to El Capitan's peak in California when Kevin was 15, making it a birthday tradition each year."I feel like the most proud person in the world right now," Mr Caldwell's sister, Sandy Van Nieuwenhuyzen, said.

It is very difficult for them to reach the top. both took rest days to wait for their skin to heal At one point it seemed unlikely that they would make it to the top. Jorgeson posted online earlier. "I'm not giving up. I will rest. I will try again. I will succeed."
