Traffic Jam on El Capitan

Yikes! The climbers look like ants but easy to see with clear shots like yours, Phil. This climb must surely have been a nail biter to watch!

Thanks mt! I have been attempting to photograph these folks since the 60's but the older I get the more nerve it takes just to watch them.

Most visitors drive by El Capitan unaware of these ants. It takes careful searching with good optics (binoculars or spotting scope) to find and follow them. They are, at least, 3/4 of a mile from my pov and barely within reach of 400-500 mms. As I age I am less comfortable watching them. Diane will sit with me in the meadow but she keeps her nose in a book. Thanks for the visit Donna!

Living vicariously is the way to go - at least for me. Thanks for sharing these amazing shots Phil.
