I am jealous Arch. I have been to Yosemite many times but never got to the top of El Cap or Half Dome. I did hike to the top of Mount Whitney when I was a young pup. I got to the top and was feeling good about myself and enjoying the view when a pair of Frenchmen appeared in front of me. They had climbed up. Deflated my balloon.Arch Hoagland said:Wow came out great. Almost looks like an Ansel Adams photo.
Years ago I was a backpacker. I've stood on the top of Half Dome and viewed the valley below. Also was at the top edge of El Capitan.
Hiked into them on the back trails, sure didn't climb the face! Climbers came up on both of them while we were there...those guys are tough!
