El Capitan and other promontories in the valley provide some of the most challenging and difficult rock climbing opportunities in the lower 48 states. El Capitan, "The Chief", is possibly Yosemite's most impressive feature. It is the world's largest solid granite block. It is so tall that different parts of the face may actually experience different weather.

3. Half dome *One of the most famous of the peaks around the valley is Half Dome which soars 8,842 feet, a full 4,733 feet above the valley floor.
