yosemite

I'm sure many of you are thinking that I have had a heat stroke or something similar ... And it is partly true that it is hot and such, but my head is still quite intact despite it. Today I want to share a news with all of you that does not speak directly about Mac, OS X or technology in general, but if it is directly related to something that we OS X Yosemite users know very well

The image that Apple uses for the OS X Yosemite operating system and that we are so familiar with seeing (header), is how we all already know part of the well-known national park of the United States and this vertiginous wall is part of an important route for climbers called: Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome.  Last weekend part of this spectacular wall came off without causing personal injury, luckily.

This route to was opened in 1957 by one of the best known climbers in the American country, Royal robbins, which was accompanied at all times by Mike Sherrick and Jerry Galwas. Without a doubt we are facing a classic climbing route in which many lovers of this spectacular sport tend to gather. After this great rock fall, the mythical climbing route was seriously affected and climbers in the area warn that it is now impossible to climb.

The above photograph shows the fragment of this detachment about 60 meters of rock and the affected part of the majestic wall, but The important thing in these cases is that there was no one climbing this great wall at the time of this great landslide.
