OVERVIEW

AS BUILT FOR ALEX HONNOLD

The El Cap is our flagship van. It represents the pinnacle of sustainable off-grid engineering. Designed originally for Alex Honnold, this build prioritizes massive solar capacity, comfortable living, and efficient systems.

Whether you are projecting big walls in Yosemite or crossing continents with your family, the El Cap is designed to be the ultimate mobile basecamp—keeping you powered, rested, and ready for the send."

We maximize roof space to create a solar array capable of running induction cooktops and AC off-grid. No generators, no noise.
