A climber leading pitch 30 of the Salathé Wall which ascends most of the Salathé Headwall. This is one of the most spectacular pitches on the route and is relatively straight-forward (aside from the incredible expsure). |

A climber turning the lip of the airy Roof on the Salathé Wall. This is the most exposed section of the climb and is guaranteed to turn the stomach both the leader and follower. |

Two climbers enjoying the soft evening light on El Capitan Spire on the Salathé Wall. This is probably the most spectacular ledge on El Capitan. This ledge is complete detached from the wall and, when you stand on it, FEELS like it is floating. |
