    Anyone complaining about this because flag on cliff knows nothing of climbing history in Yosemite. Flags have been flown by people climbing el cap for a long time.

    Ammon McNeely was a genuine legend of Yosemite and big wall climbing in general. He was known as the el cap pirate for flying a skull and cross bones as he climbed. One example.

    So if this uniquely upsets you then ask yourself why. Admit it’s probably a bigoted response. If this does not uniquely upset you… Then you better be making arguments against climbing el cap at all as it has been climbed for decades. And I better see you getting just as pissed in the comment section of any climbing blog.
