Climbing El Cap

[bertusgeert 1]

Anyone on here have experience on El Cap, or any other similar big wall? Or know anyone that does?

I'm looking to ask a few basic questions.

Thanks!

They'll just berate him for trying to exceed his experience level, tell him to ask his instructors, and make 3 boobie jokes.



Oh wait, that's here-Don't know what will happen there.

Yeah, that's just here. My noob experience over at RockClimbing was very nice. I admitted i had zero climbing experience but was interested and I was welcomed pretty whole heartedly.

Here's a fat log for the fire - were you guys aware that this is legal?

(Yes, it's in Yosemite).

I heard about that, but I guess they only let pilots fly in the early mornings, so no thermals, just a glide from top to bottom. Also, you need an advanced rating, kind of like a D license.

Yeah, definitely not an easy launch for a HG, and tricky for a paraglider. PG's are not allowed however.

Apparently some guys were ticketed in the meadows for "kiting" (just practicing on the lawn) for "operating aircraft in a NP".

Sounds like a guy I know who was kiting his paraglider in Central Park, and got a ticket from a cop for "flying an extremely large kite"
