Spoiler Alert If you want to try to answer the puzzle, see yesterday’s YOY #35 and return to this post after that.
If you don’t care to take a guess, then click HERE to go to today’s Yosemite picture(s).
Above is yesterday’s picture with the hint circled. Do you see that red object?
Rock climbers on the face of El Capitan
We were very surprised to learn that the park service allows rock climbers to mount El Capitan since it is such an iconic landmark. There were a number of climbers trying to ascend during our visit and onlookers were lined up under trees in nearby fields to watch the climbers make their way to the top.
We were told that the climb can take between three and six days depending on a variety of factors. Climbers must bring everything with them to sustain them during this feat. Plans need to be made for sleeping, eating, etc.
The red item is one of the bags used to carry supplies and below that there appears to be a pail and a weight. Above the bag there are two climbers with additional supplies. This may be hard to discern so I enlarged a portion of the picture which appears below.
