Tom Evans Ends His Much-Loved El Cap Report

Tom Evans has ended his long-running El Cap Report with the following message: Yo…My long running project, The El Cap Report, has finally come to an end. For me, it has been a path far different from that I had foreseen. I have had many great moments recording the events on El Cap and I have had some of the worst moments of my life.

I want to thank all you readers and supporters who have made the Report possible. I will continue with my photography, so you can find me, like always, down at the El Cap meadow. Since I will still be shooting, for the rest of this season, and in the future, you can still get your photos from me.

The website will remain as a contact point for those of you who need to get in touch about pics or copies of the Reports. My heartfelt thanks to all of you and my best wishes for an interesting and productive life. So that’s the way it is, on this Saturday, the 8th day of October, 2016, the end of the ElCap Report era. Signing off… Capt. Tom.. still at the epicenter, of the center, of the universe… El Capitan!

The El Cap Report has been one of the best seasonal blogs in the climbing world over the past few years. In an interview with Evans in 2015, Evans said, “I think these retirement years have been the best years of my life. I can tell you that life goes by really fast, so live it or it will live you.” Read the full interview here.
