Here is a shot of headlamps on El Capitan last night. I have been trying the method where you take several photos that are not very bright and then combining them and blending them screen, they say you get less noise this way.

You caught some Nose parties in some pretty awkward places.
There are lights at the end of the Great Roof and a few pitches above Camp 6. Bummer for them.

CF - Same results, but better control over exposure can be had with a tripod and shutter speed control setting on the camera. This method works best when there is a low full moon and there area slough of climbers on the Captain!

Good stuff though.

Yeah, this whole week has seen plenty of ascents of the great rock.

Nice picture Chris. Who do you figure those folks are above the sky line?

Are you coming to the Nose50 celebration?

Thanks for the memories !!! Saw the lights in person at the Face Lift but not able to take pics good enough to make it a photo memory. Now you have made it happen....again thanks !

What a rare and wonderful life event to see these bits of light arrayed against the fortress rock....
