There never was any privacy on ElCap as hundreds of Tourons are viewing the great rock on a dialy basis during the climbing season and they don't respect one's privacy! All that is required is an email to me saying you don't wish to be reported on or photographed and it is done... simple as that. Some people opt out for no reporting but yes on the photos... have it your way! Thanks to all who support the report and big wall climbing here in Yosemite!!
Photo gear is the same as last year... 600mm Nikon f4 with a canon T3i attached by adapter.

Thanks Tom, these photos always make me want to go to Yosemite and climb El Capitan. The view from my work cubicle is not nearly as good.
What about the old-guy nose in a day team? What are they waiting for? There's no time left for procrastinating.

Great to have you back, Tom.
I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for your reports!
I would donate this year, but I can't figure out how to get a six-pack in and envelope...

Yeehaw! Looking forward to the drama, the spray, the who's who, the who's not, the topouts, the fails and the bails! I know Lurking Fear is around the corner a bit...But hopefully we'll at least get mentioned when we go for our first ride up on the monster this summer!
See you there Tom,

Just can't find privacy anywhere anymore! Yeah! What the hell? I just want to crawl up the side of a cliff in the middle of the biggest National park clusterf*#k in the country and groove on the solitude. You're intruding, Tom.

Duh... there is no solitude next to a road where thousands of Tourons stop to look at the great rock, and watch climbers.... so .... get over it! Go climb Half Dome or a zillion other rocks here if you want to be stealthy. Reality... learn to deal with it. Make adjustments. And if the ElCap Report is not to your liking then don't read it! If no one reads it then it will go away. But, thousands of people seem to find it interesting enough.

Hey Tom, have you seen Luke and Kieran lately? They were Canadians up on Salathe wall this past week. I think they may have had a beer with ya. Maybe they punted their electronic devices off the wall. Sunburst colored pig.

I did see them after they did the LTower but I think the weather is putting them off for a bit now.

Is that the beginning of the Shield headwall a couple of pix up? That was the route I always wanted to do.
