El Capitan, California, USA (3,000ft/914m)
The grande dame of Yosemite National Park (along with Half Dome to
the east), El Capitan rises proudly from the western side of the Yosemite
Valley. Its granite face appears near vertical – a result of glacial action
that shaped many of the mountains within the national park. El Capitan, meaning
the captain, is indeed a fitting name for the monolith.
