This is a shot from Scorched Earth looking west towards El Cap Tower
and Texas Flake on the Nose route. It was taken from the P7
belay.
El Cap Tower is the middle of three prominent ledges, and Texas Flake is
separated from the Cap by the chimney above.
Notice the traffic jam, with parties on both El Cap Tower and Texas Flake
one pitch above. The route above Texas Flake goes up and left to Boot
Flake (you can just see its base) and from there follows the infamous
King Swing penji.
You can also see a climber in red on Mescalito. From a full-size image,
I could see that it was Pete Davies from England, who was doing Mescalito
with Tom Randall, MrHardgrit, also from England.
