El Capitan

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).
