THE IDEA: Make Dave Hahn, one of the world's greatest Everest guides, face his fear of heights.

THE PLAN: Send him 3,000 feet up El Capitan with Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin, and Ivo Ninov.

THE RESULT: Panic attacks, cold sweats, and the February-issue feature "Aces High."

Here, go behind the scenes with video of the El Cap climb, listen to our complete podcast interview with the climbers, and check out a photo gallery of Jimmy Chin's shots from the trip.
