Does anyone have a photo of a Nevada Falls BM? Chick-On's old photo share is no longer accessible https://picasaweb.google.com/yosemite.chick.on/BenchMarkers?authkey=Gv1sRgCMfQ4IvD8NO9SQ Thanksby amygdaloid - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
That's a great photo! I did look at your map link, just wasn't sure if the BM was really that close to the edge as the maps show. Looks a little terrifying given the downward slope leading down to the BM...and that long last step if you go to far... How long/difficult is the hike up there? Where is the start of the trail, down in the valley or someplace else? The only hike I've done in the parby amygdaloid - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Chick-on, I haven’t finished my El Capitan replica yet, but I did find a map which shows the location of the benchmark at the top edge (with matching elevation) and the one that was vandalized at the base. Is the 7042 BM as close to the edge as the map indicates? Do you happen to have photo that show the benchmark in relation to the edge or the general area/view from up there?

Thanks! Not sure if I’ll ever get to see this one for myself, but hopefully I’ll get back to Yosemite some day. It’s been around 20 years since I’ve been. I’m going to make a replica of the El Cap BM as a keychain. I just finished a 3D model of Glacier Point BM today and ordered a bronze print from Shapeways.com. Here is what that one looks like.

I realize this thread has been inactive for many years, but I'm hoping I can get some information from someone on the benchmark that is listed below as being on El Capitan. Does anyone have a photo and an approximate location on the quad map for it? Thanks Tom Quotechick-on Here are two links to bench mark stuff.
