Beautiful work, Jane, you cover Yosemite so well and several years ago I met Alex Honnold at a Patagonia function after he had free soloed Half Dome… before his amazing solo on El Capitan. Your work on both sites would fit right in with the beauty and awe of the video and photos.

Hi Randall, Wow! Very exciting that you met Alex. I thought the movie was sensational and terrifying. When we were there on this trip, a local guide said that he was climbing there that week. I’m glad you feel this shot does this favorite park justice. Thank you very much.

The park looks incredible. I have just seen a short video of people free climbing El Capitan – unbelievable. But Yosemite looks awesome enough without having to do such death defying ventures!

The movie, Free Solo, is harrowing. We just missed seeing him climb on our last visit.

I echo your wishes. The curve of the backside of the cloud echoes the curve of the backside of Half Dome, creating a beautiful visual rhythm.
