Climbers on El Capitan.

I've never seen so many at once.

There's not enough resolution to see them via webcam by day, though I've spotted some with a long lens from the valley previously. Nites got Lites.

Safe climbing, everyone.

Webcams are courtesy of Yosemite Conservancy. https://yosemite.org

~~I previously snapped a nice photo of the Pleiades cluster from this camera.~~ Good stuff for free.

Pleiades just rose!

And when there are clouds, they are a sight to behold.

Enjoy.

This cam was made for you and me!
