Yo.. Fall weather is upon us.  The day dawned clear and cold and the rain was a distant memory.  The Big Stone is seeing more action now and some interesting routes are being climbed.  So stay tuned for all the latest news straight from the Captain.

Yo... the rains came but not the driving kind.  Showers on and off all day.  The only team on the SE face is the Heart Land guys who hauled kit.  A team on the Salathe was seen at the Roof.  It looks like everyone else is off the wall at this time.

So that's the way it is for this Wednesday, the 21st day of September, 2016.

Capt. Tom... staying dry.

Yo.. Clouds have come into the valley, bringing a much needed respite from the recent hot weather.  Slight chance of rain in the forecast.  The action is heating up as you will read in the Report below… so get to it!

Yo… Not much action on ElCap these past two days.  You guessed it… the weather has been hot, hot, and hotter.  Only the Nose and Salathe have seen much action but like I said a couple of days ago… things are about to happen on a larger scale.  Starting this coming Saturday I will be shooting for Adidas Outdoor for the next two weeks so the reports may be combinations of days like today’s is.  The Face Lift starts today and the place is packed with attendees.  The traffic patterns are much changed too so please pay attention when you are driving.

Yo..  The weather is really nice now and the numbers are increasing on EC.  Lots of action on the Nose, with the rest of the big 5 longing for some action.  Big things to come, including the Face-lift this next week.  Beware of the roads as the old one way roads are now two way.

Yo… Spectacular weather has set in now and the big trades are getting a workout.  I had a nice drive up yesterday and found the smoke gone from the Valley and the traffic pattern considerably changed and that is a good thing!  So pay attention when you are visiting the park.  Camp 4 is pretty full most of the time and the annual Face Lift is coming up in a few days, so plan accordingly.

Yo… Warm weather seems to have flushed a lot of climbers off the Cap these days.  As a result, tomorrow will see only one party on ElCap.  Not good for what I do!!  So this will be the season’s last report unless something big happens in the next few days.  I will still shoot some so you can contact me to get the shots.

Yo… The Captain is still seeing a shortage of climbers in the late June heat.  So the Report is a thin one… and it seems my dedicated readers would like to see oldies more than recent shots.  Accordingly, I am posting another batch of oldies for your enjoyment.

Yo… Well…I gotta tell you that it is getting hot now.  Summer seems to be upon us, not just date wise, but weather wise too.  Not many teams are on ElCap right now, so the report will be a bit short on variety… so I have thrown in some oldies to fill the gap.

Yo… Warmer weather has set in now and it seems that a lot of climbers have headed up to the Meadows for the rest of the season.  We still have some diehard big wall climbers here and things are still being done.  The forecast is for higher temperatures later in the week.
