Thanks for many years of intense jealousy here in my cube, and for the amazing shots of my all too rare moments on El Cap.

Thanks so much Tom for all the stoke! The pictures you took of me and my buddies are some of my most prized mementos of the greatest climbs I've done. You're a class act and you'll be missed! I hope I'll still see you in the meadow next year.

Yo, this is kind of sad. There was nothing like the ECR to for getting me psyched to work out harder and longer for the next trip to valley. Thanks for the memories, Tom!

The ECR was absolutely great, and we hate like hell to see it go. Thank you so much, Tom!

TomE makes an El Cap FA, now to be followed and pinned out.

Great stuff over the years Tom. And nothing like a cold Cobra to help you tell your stories of the worst of times to your buds.

English is my second language for me, so maybe I did not understand something. Did he say good bye, but then mention he will still be shooting people and posting the photos to his site, for the rest of the season and in the future?
In any case, a great benefit for those climbing on El Cap, thanks for all the years of work!

I might be wrong, but I don't think he is posting pics to his site.

The bit about stick clips was good as well... Nice satire.

I can't even remember the days before Tom's El Cap report.

Every season the report came back online felt like Christmas. My life brightened up as I finally had something worthwhile to read with morning coffee besides bullshit news and politics.

The report provided inspiration and psyche for my own El Cap adventures each year.

But more then that, the report kept me in touch with what my friends...us small tribe of Monkeys were up to on the Big Cliff. It was a way to feel connected, even from afar...cube puking at my office desk.

I can't even begin to describe how much I'll miss seeing the regular report. But what worried me more was that maybe this "retirement" meant my friend Tom my be missing from my Yosemite experience. That would be a real tragedy. But thankfully Tom assures me he will be there taking his pics seasons to come....phew.

Thanks Tom.

I'm sorry to see the ECR go, but I know how much of a time suck is was for Tom to do the Report every single day.

Thanks for all the photos, all the time you spent on the Report, and for all the tips on how to get good shots on the Big Stone! Looking forward to seeing you in the Valley without you having to run off to do 5 hours of editing every day.
