Carl Boenish was the real catalyst behind modern BASE jumping, and in 1978, he filmed the first BASE jumps to be made using ram-air parachutes and the freefall tracking technique ( from El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park ).

While BASE jumps had been made prior to that time, the El Capitan activity was the effective birth of what is now called BASE jumping.

The valley is about long and up to a mile deep, surrounded by high granite summits such as Half Dome and El Capitan, and densely forested with pines.

The view from the lower ( western ) end of the Valley contains the great granite monolith El Capitan on the left, and Cathedral Rocks then the pointed obelisk of Sentinel Rock to the south.

The Three Brothers formed from the El Capitan pluton

The El Capitan pluton intruded the valley, forming most of the granitic rock that makes up much of the central part of the valley, including Cathedral Rocks, Three Brothers, and El Capitan.

Their glaciers were huge and covered nearly all the landmarks around Yosemite Valley except Half Dome, Eagle Peak, Sentinel Dome, and the top of El Capitan.

The last stand of Lake Yosemite was about 5. 5 miles ( 8. 9 km ) long and was impounded by a terminal moraine near the base of El Capitan.
