Martin CashSpectacular!

Wow, that is one of the best climbing shots on El Cap I've seen. I really like how you can see the base on the Nose route sticking out. 4 stars.

I'd like to see a shot like this as photo of the week on SP- a change of pace from the "usual mountain scenery".......not that there's anything wrong with those either.
