Description

El Capitan è una montagna degli Stati Uniti, alta 2.307 metri s.l.m., situata nello Stato della California, nel Parco nazionale di Yosemite, nella zona nord-occidentale della Valle dello Yosemite. Si tratta di un monolite granitico nel quale la sua parete verticale denominata Nose costituisce una delle più popolari sfide di alpinismo estremo al mondo.

Il massiccio ricevette questo nome dal Battaglione Mariposa quando esplorò la zona nell'anno 1851. El Capitan fu considerata una traduzione approssimativa in lingua spagnola del nome locale che usavano dare i pellerossa alla parete perpendicolare, trascritto come To-to-kon oo-lah o To-tock-ah-noo-lah. Non è chiaro se il nome attuale si riferisca ad un capo tribù specifico. In tempi recenti il nome viene spesso contratto in El cap in particolare dagli scalatori.
