Standing on top of El Capitan - one of Yosemite’s most iconic landmarks. It’s wild to think this massive granite wall rises over 3,000 feet straight up from the valley floor, a place that’s inspired generations of climbers and adventurers. Up here, everything feels different - quiet, peaceful, and absolutely surreal. The views stretch endlessly across Yosemite Valley, Half Dome standing proud in the distance, and you realize just how small you are compared to this place. . . . . . #yosemite #yos

Charles Winstead was scaling the 3,000-foot granite wall of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley this week when an unfamiliar flapping sound erupted overhead and startled him. BASE jumping, the sport of leaping from fixed objects like buildings or cliffs and then parachuting to the ground, was pioneered in Yosemite National Park in the 1970s. While it has been effectively verboten there since the 1980s, BASE has continued to occur in secret. Read more at the link in our bio. A small group of BASE jumpe

El Capitan is one of Yosemite’s most iconic granite monoliths - a towering vertical wall that rises about 3,000 feet (914 meters) straight up from Yosemite Valley. It’s often described as the ultimate test piece for rock climbers from around the world. What makes El Capitan world-famous is its sheer vertical face, smooth granite, and the scale of its challenge. For decades, it’s been the center of big-wall climbing -the kind where climbers spend days (and nights) on the wall, sleeping on portale

Summiting El Capitan in Yosemite National Park was an insane experience!
