"L Cap"

Located in Yosemite National Park, El Capitan’s iconic granite walls dominate the west end of Yosemite Valley. At more than 3,000 feet above the valley floor, it is 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building, or more than 3 times as high as the top of the Eiffel Tower.  The view of El Capitan is a beacon for park visitors, a muse for photographers, and climbing El Capitan is one of the world’s ultimate challenges for rock climbers.  In 1851 while exploring the valley the Spanish named the granite cliff El Capitan, or "The Captain," a testament to its imposing nature.  In local circles the name often gets shortened to "L Cap."  Source: yosemite.com and Wikipedia.


Yosemite is a special place for Mr. Daniel, spending every summer there as a child - a tradition he has continued with his family.
