El Capitan Free Poster / Yosemite National Park

If you are a big wall climber, this is a must have. Diamond Productions› El
Capitan Free Poster gives you incredible pitch-by-pitch detail about every
free route on the iconic face including Tommy Caldwell’s project on the Dawn
Wall. Beautiful artwork overlaid with archival topographic detail of more than
20 routes. Artwork by Clay Wadman.

In 2010, National Geographic hired me to help them map out all of El Capitan’s
routes. Working closely with Martin Gamache, we created a base image, which in
2012 helped create the foundation for creating this poster. This giant
climbing poster maps all of the routes on El Cap including the new Free Climb
of the Dawn Wall by Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson.

Thanks to Jimmy Chin, I received a call from National Geographic. Their goal
was to expand the composite drawing of the Southeast Select across the entire
face. Again Tom Frost’s never ending support kept me moving forward and in the
end my artwork was shared with 8.3 million people in 36 languages.

A year later, using the National Geographic base images and expanding them
around the corner to include the West Face, I created the ultimate base image
of every feature on El Capitan. A lot had happened in Yosemite National Park
in the decade since I drew the Southeast Select poster, and I was able to
research and draw topos for 20 free climbing routes on El Capitan.

Another amazing asset was the Yosemite Extreme Pano Imaging Project by xRez
Studio. This website brought a telescope right onto my computer screen where
climbers like Tommy Caldwell could sit next to me and point out beta in
amazing detail. The poster chronicles the evolution of the wall’s free
climbing routes and includes the underlying matrix of the wall’s aid routes
for reference.
