ElCap Report 10/19/15

By Tom Evans

Yo..  It was a dreamy morning, down by the Captain.  I stopped by for a few shots before going out shooting for Adidas.  The waterfalls are going now .. but for how long, I know not.  The Cap is getting the rush on the big trades.  Here are a few shots from this morning.

Today’s ElCap Report..written just for you..unique in all the world!

Zodiac had several parties low on the route.  Take a number, there is a line.

ZM’s Polish team topped out later in the day.  Those guys are good!
