SPECIAL Edition ElCap Report 8/11/13

By Tom Evans

It is midsummer and I have been having an enjoyable time.  I have done some travelling and am presently visiting my son and his family in Phoenix.  However this report has nothing to do with those things.  After reading comments and responses written here and elsewhere, I feel the need to clarify some things and have rewritten my original report.  Once again I have edited some of my previous writings, as they were of a personal nature and I don't think they belong on the Report in the long term. The Report is a kind of history of Yosemite climbing and should only contain matters related to climbing.
