My weird new hobby: Wandering around Tokyo on Google Maps

    Found myself recently down a rabbit hole watching a lot of climbing videos (free, trad, bouldering, etc).

    I was looking at Google maps to locate some of the more obscure climbs outside the Yosemite valley proper. Little did I realise that Tommy Caldwell, Alex Honnold, Lynn Hill and others had done a project with Google to take a Street View camera up El Capitan (The Nose route but also parts of the Dawn Wall). Seriously the best in-person view to get an idea of what it's like pitch by pitch up the wall.
