Half Dome Looking Down the Cables

Photo Details
Jeff T New Member Registered: August 2009 Location: SF Bay Area Posts: 71	Half Dome dominates Yosemite Valley but can look very different from different locations. Up close of view of the cables, going down the cables is scarier than going up. Also, the drop off on the shoulder next to Half Dome at the base of the cables is pretty steep as well.

I have friends that have hiked this, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Maybe with a harness and caribeners, but even then it's unlikely. Congrats to all those who do make it up there and share these pics though!

I think walking up to the shoulder at the base of the cables is actually steeper and harder work, but the rock is not as slick as it is where the cables are. Once you grab the cables though, as long as it isn't wet, its pretty secure. You should try at least once.
