Featured: On Wisconsin

Between a Rock and No Place

In its Winter 2008 issue, On Wisconsin follows Yosemite Park ranger Eric Gabriel '88 on a daring nighttime descent of El Capitan, one of the tallest cliffs in the world. Standing twice the height of the Sears Tower, "the Captain" is a magnet for rock climbers around the globe. But when one of them became stranded three-quarters of the way up - with two broken legs - Gabriel had to bring him safely back to ground. Trace their journey here. Also, see how Badgers keep the Oprah Winfrey show stocked with guests, find out how the mayor of Medellin, Colombia, changed that city's reputation, learn how Wisconsin got its unique shape, and more.
