One of the most photographed mountains in the world is El Capitan, elevation 7,569 feet. It rises three thousand feet from the floor of the Yosemite Valley. It's the largest monolith of granite on Earth."El Cap" was once considered unclimbable, but a team led by Warren Harding (no relation to the president) conquered it in 1958. Experienced climbers consider the mountain a "must climb."
