Remember our post about those who have been nice this year? We mentioned the rangers and volunteers who help keep our parks open and functioning. And here is a great example of that at work:

Yep--they rappel down the nose of El Capitan to clean up the trash that a generation of climbers have left 2,000 straight above the floor of Yosemite Valley.
God bless 'em.
And what's the deal with climbers leaving all that trash? Who do they think they are, fishermen?
Just kidding. But you'd think people who spent that much time so close the El Capitan would want to treat it better than that...
