I argue that vertical pilgrimage in Japan, which is structured on ascetic emphasis, repetition, and risk-fueled concentration, can offer theoretical orientations that have real utility in other mountain pilgrimage contexts. To illustrate this analytical efficacy, I introduce the case of vertical pilgrimage on El Capitan in Yosemite, California.},
