Freddie Wilkinson takes to the Op-Ed section of The New York Times to talk about how the government shutdown has affected the climbing scene in Yosemite:

The most anticipated event of this climbing season was to be an effort by Tommy Caldwell of Colorado to lead a team of climbers to become the first to free climb the Dawn Wall — that is, climbing by hand and foot without using gear to make upward progress — a feat Mr. Caldwell has been pursuing for the last seven years.

Chris Sharma, a reigning icon of the action-sports world, was to join the climber Kevin Jorgeson in the effort, which they ended up postponing.

“It’s like Michael Phelps showing up at the Olympics, only to find the pool has been drained,” said Andrew Bisharat, an editor for Rock and Ice Magazine.

→ Yosemite Post-Shutdown∞

Cheyne Lempe, in an interview with Climbing.com, on what it is like in Yosemite now that most everyone has been forced to leave due to the government being shutdown:

This past week has honestly been one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had in the park. It’s almost eerie how quiet it is.

I live in a tent cabin in the back of Camp 4, so the constant noise of car alarms, traffic, screaming children, and drunken hollering from all the people is nonexistent.

Last week Camp 4 was completely full, now there are only a few abandoned tents. I’ve been noticing more of the subtle beauty of this place.

Sounds amazing.

→ El Cap Report Returns For Fall 2013 Season∞

Posted September 17, 2013 at 12:59 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

It’s baaaaack:

So take a break Cupcakes, Cubicle Pukes, Internet Climbers, and get ready for today’s report … ditch the kids, the spouse, the pets… because this is your time to head up on ElCap with old Captain Tom!

It should be an interesting season with Tommy Caldwell’s Dawn Wall project set to continue this season provided that the devastating floods near Caldwell’s home in Estes Park haven’t derailed his plans.

→ Rescue On Leaning Tower∞

Posted June 26, 2013 at 1:24 pm · Comments { 7 } ·

Since there was a fair bit of bad news from Yosemite this season it’s nice to see this bonus El Cap Report detail the successful rescue of a climber off of the Leaning Tower:

It started with a call from a solo climber, who fell on the West Face Route.  He injured his lower back and didn’t feel he could make the overhanging rappels to the deck.  YOSAR swung into action early in the morning.

Thanks, as always, to Ansel Tom Evans for his reports from the Valley once again this season.

→ Mapping Yosemite’s Granite∞

Posted June 13, 2013 at 11:23 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Fascinating study being done by Roger Putnam on the different types of granite that make up the most famous granite formation in the world:

To get a more complete and detailed picture, Putnam spent six weeks doing fieldwork on El Capitan, in May and June of last year. During that time he climbed the entire face three times and rappelled all the way down twice. He also climbed numerous shorter routes, always working with an experienced climber as partner.
