1000m. For a full traverse of El Cap, from the road on the West side of El Cap follow the creek towards the Hourglass taking care not to veer towards Ribbon Falls. Scramble right up the gully and bring rock shoes for the final 5.5 pitch of the gully. Walk right for the summit and the top of the Nose then descend via the Eastern Ledges which you will need a harness and rappel device for. The ultimate adventure hike!
