We were wandering through the park trying to return to
Yosemite Village when we came upon the stunning site which you can see in
the picture. I realized that we were looking at "El Capitan" and I have
to say that there is no better name for it. The granite wall measures
around 1350m (4000ft) from base to summit and is impressively vertical
with a surface that looks like it was polished. I saw two rock-climbers
making their way to the top (and really admired them).
