The Alcove Swing, El Capitan, Yosemite Valley

The Alcove Swing on East Side of El Cap. Filmed with GoPro Hero HD helmet Camera. As of 09/20/2010 the ropes looks to be about 15 months according some resources. Be careful and have tons of fun!

That looks AWESOME! I'll be in Yosemite in 2 weeks. I won't be doing this, but I'm sure I'll still have a ton of fun. I can't wait!!!

So, the rope just stays attached in the elements all the time? Looks super fun and I'd def do it if I ever make it to el cap but man that's sketchy knowing that rope is there for who knows how Long!! Even if they changed it every few months..

Alex Honnold was the latest person to re-up the El-Cap rope.

[@kartessa007]

Yeah, the rope is toast now. Sheath disintegrated, some of the core strands snapped. Luckily nobody got hurt.

Anyone know where to tie the rope? Went the other day couldn't even find it

[@nicklozica8914]

U have to lead an A3 pitch to set the rope.

[@Strum2223]

@MagicSCATP would you suggest a atc??? I think i would use a gri.

[@stillbashingmetal]

Where is the rope attached and who checks the rope for integrity?
