In 2005, Keith and I went to Yosemite Valley National Park in California and climbed the Nose on El Capitan.
I wrote a UKC article on the trip and my experiences. Here's the original text and a supplementary page for aspirant big wall climbers. And the photos around Yosemite Valley and the climb itself. Day one, two, three, four and topping out on day five. And getting back to the valley again.
