http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Capitan El Capitan Southwest face of El Capitan from Yosemite Valley Elevation 7,569 feet (2,307 m) Location California, USA Range Sierra Nevada Coordinates 37°44′02.4″N 119°38′13.2″W / 37.734, -119.637Coordinates: 37°44′02.4″N 119°38′13.2″W / 37.734, -119.637 Topo map USGS El Capitan Type granite rock Age of rock Cretaceous Easiest route hike El Capitan is a 3,000-foot (910 m) vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park, located on the north side of Yosemite Valley, near its western end. The granite monolith is one of the world's favorite challenges for rock climbers. The formation was named "El Capitan" by the Mariposa Battalion when it explored the valley in 1851. El Capitan ("the captain", "the chief") was taken to be a loose Spanish translation of the local Native American name for the cliff, variously transcribed as "To-to-kon oo-lah" or "To-tock-ah-noo-lah". It is unclear if the Native American name referred to a specific Tribal chief, or simply meant "the chief" or "rock chief".[1] In modern times, the formation's name is often contracted to "El Cap", especially among rock climbers. The top of El Capitan can be reached by hiking out of Yosemite Valley on the trail next to Yosemite Falls, then proceeding west. For climbers, the challenge is to climb up the sheer granite face; there are dozens of named climbing routes, all of them long and difficult. just FYI

Hey there El Capitan do you deliver to all the nearby towns around where you live ??? cause i have been talking to someone whose home town borders with yours and he just happens to be planning on driving down here soon to meet me and i mentioned to him that i have a friend < You > who lives near him... and he says he sees a truck like the one you drive in your delivery business around his neighborhood pretty often I told him to flag you down if the truck is in his neighborhood again and ask you if you are El Capitan The Captain
