About Tom Evans

For 50 years, I've been a climber with a special love for Yosemite National Park. I've climbed El Capitan five times and other major Yosemite climbs too numerous to mention. Now that I'm a little older, however, I've focused on photography, specializing in nature scenes from throughout the western United States and shooting photos of climbers as they make their way up the significant routes in Yosemite.

I'm a retired teacher living in Crestline, California, and in my spare time I pursue my other passions, including the restoration of classic Pontiac GTO automobiles and finding new and different ways to relax.
