/tags/yosemite-climbing.rss en-us One of two great monoliths in Yosemite National Park, El Capitan is a one of the world's sheerest granite rock faces, rising 3000 feet above the valley floor below. In between the two main climb routes on El Capitan is a massive jut called "The Nose" which is very popular and holds the highest bragging rights for conquering on this infamous peak. This climb was once believed impossible, but is now scaled regularly by experienced climbers.
