this is here On Top! A closeup look to the south - El Capitan. We hiked/scrambled along the right edge on our adventure.
Jim checking out the edge
Looking off towards the west from the summit. Note the white salt flats.
Looks like the edge of the world, doesn't it? 
Looking to the west towards El Paso.
Peter talking with a backcountry ranger on the summit. Note summit marker - you can't miss it.  It's actually a monument to American Airlines with a reference to a historic stagecoach trail nearby.  Not sure of the connection between the two.
Looking towards the north from the summit.
Peter and Jim on top!
Even Sierra's little rubber duck made it to the summit.
Looking towards the south from the summit of El Capitan.
Looking back towards Guadalupe Peak from the summit of El Capitan.
Peter on the edge of the world...
Note the sheer west-facing cliffs
Jim taking a break.
Looking back up on the drive back to El Paso.  What a great trip!
Enjoying a schnitzel dinner in El Paso. Prossit!
