Wow, that Mescalito top out pic makes me sweat too Micronut.
Yosemite cleanliness:
And some Oregon stuff.
Ben, in that photo upthere nearing the summit of the pinnacle, is just above this point below. Same climb, slightly lower. Top one shows the exposure better I guess.

I was going to single out the Michael Hjorth photo as above-average horrifying, and looks like a handful of folks agree!
Guy smiley, that west overhang flatiron pic is pretty sweet.

Yeah, the spot he's in is bad enough without the pig. Makes me sweat, good thing it's not a video.
^^^ only half way?
The second bolt is up by that right facing flake. Then it's across to the arete. One of the best short climbs I've done.
Last I heard Vaino was in New Mexico or one of those states. Maybe in Co by now.

The views looking down el Cap, particularly down the Nose, really make you feel like you're there.

I think Michael Hjorth comes closest so far... it would have been even closer had it been shot with a lens with about half the focal length, the wider field of view would have included more of the "edge" and the Valley floor...
also "tipping" the image would provide more of a sense of the "terror" for the viewer
