It was not an easy ending. The last pitch was the most technical and challenging of the entire climb. It was severely overhanging leaving the climber fully exposed and dangling on the end of the rope, very aware of how high 2900ft actually is. The next couple of shots gives a little stomach turning perspective on how high that really is.

Touching El Cap's one tree at the summit is the traditional end to the climb.

“The Great Roof” is a major feature on the climb which like it’s name says, isa huge roof that you need to climb out and around. It looks pretty intimidating from far, and even more so from this vantage.
