The first words out of the mouth of Royal Robbins, the grand old man of Yosemite climbing, were about how El Captain has become a kind of lodestone, "because of its plain rock architecture-it's so beautiful in itself, it's so noble, that to have climbed it, to have found your way up it, is to have become more intimate with it and to have become more part of that grandeur, that granite, that strength if you will."
