Rappelling El Capitan
|
I was talking to a friend of mine about Yosemite and he has an interest in Rappelling El Capitan. He doesn't climb so he wants to hike up first. Being a climber, I have only thought about climbing it and whenever I thought of Rappelling on El Cap I pictured it as either a lower out or bailing. This Idea of Rappelling El Cap got me curious as to how feasible it is or isn't and I haven't found much on the internet. A few questions came to mind for those that have climbed el cap (Probaby the nose) |

Here you go. This is literally the book on rappelling the nose. |

Is there any way to contact Tom? A website or something? |

The Supertopo book "Yosemite Big Walls" shows the rap route to bail off the Nose, and also shows anchors. |
