Day 3 of my trip involved exploring more Yosemite National Park with a hike to Vernal Falls, checking out the Ansel Adams Gallery, shower & nap, hiking near El Capitan, and riding the park’s free shuttle buses.
I return to SF tomorrow, but I will never get tired of the majesty of the giant features surrounding Yosemite Valley.

It goes, boys!
Excited to see Lynn Hill tomorrow on the Bergsportdag. She's one of the best climbers in the world.

Still thinking about my time on El Capitan. Easily one of the most intense experiences of my life.

With Honnold making headlines in Taipei, it really puts the scale of El Cap into perspective. I can’t even imagine doing that wall without a rope. Absolute madness.

#Climbing . . .

#AlexHonnold is the only person known to have climbed the 3000 ft face of #ElCapitan in #Yosemite #FreeSolo (without ropes &/or safety gear).

This climb was recorded in the documentary Free Solo (2018). I have a copy of it on DVD. It can be viewed for free on a least one #AltStreaming channel & for a fee on PPV/subscription channels.

Honnold just free soloed the 1617 ft skyscraper in Taiwan known as #Taipei101.

This climb was filmed & apparently sponsored by #Neflix, where you can watch the entire climb if you are a subscriber.

If you are NOT a Netflix subscriber, you can watch clips of this climb here on Reddit:

The Captain

From this point of view as can be seen here, El Capitan stands in all its glory rising 3,000 feet above the valley floor. The gray granite seems to dominate the valley floor and from this perspective it does. But the river that cuts through the valley will lead you to many other places that try to also compete.
