Notable Locations from Putnam et al. (IMAGE) Geological Society of America Caption Notable locations and climbing routes on the southeast face of El Capitan. The names of each climbing route are listed at the top of the route. General locations are shaded orange. The Nose travels along the curving arête separating the sunlit and shaded parts of the cliff. The North America Wall is the concave section of wall to the right of the Nose, marked by mafic dikes in the shape of North America. The exposure visible in this image is the area of Figure 6. Location names and route paths taken from Putnam and Sloan (2014). The scale bar is an approximate horizontal scale; absolute scale varies because the image is a flattened representation of a three-dimensional surface. The view angle is to the north.
