Comments: The turn off from trail #279 is marked with a small cairn as of 12/23/06. From the west side, shortly after passing the 1 mile marker, look for a small trail descending down and to the left as the main trail switchbacks up and to the right. Follow the trail as it wanders up a drainage, going in and out periodically. On the right, you will see the Rockfellow formation, and on the left is Cochise Dome. Soon after passing a Forest Service sign about raptor closures, look for a trail off to t... more >>

We found this easy, but perhaps slightly longer route to the base of the End Pin... more >>

Comments: A little beta that may be good to know if ever you need to bail on this route... which we learned the hard way when a nasty storm took us by surprise. From the top of the first pitch it is nearly impossible to retreat back to the starting ledge due to the initial pendulum traverse. However, there are two massive rap anchors on the face ~30' below the start ledge (and more or less directly underneath the anchors at the top of the 1st pitch). This allows you to rappel the entire face directly ... more >>

Comments: Bottom crack is great. Top off-width is nothing special. I agree... need's achors for the rap. Fun, but certainly not worth the long hike just for this one climb. Worth it if you're there already.

Location: CA : Yosemite National Park : Yosemite Valley : El Capitan Base Routes : Pine Line (5.7)

Comments: Great warm up route and easy to protect with sweeping views of the valley (and the 3000 ft of rock above adds something too!)
To get there, take the trail to the base of The Nose and walk right (facing the cliff) a few feet, looking for a large ledge.
The belay tree is a ways back from the edge, so you may want to bring some slings to extend the anchor past the bushes.
