| Beautiful day to climb Half Dome. The climb up took 3.5 hours starting at Curry Village. Those cables at the end are no joke. | |

| Ratballs | From Tuolomne Meadows | |
| Came up the easy side of Half Dome (well, harder than taking a chopper to the top, I s'pose), back in the summer of '92. Part of a farewell-to-the-US three-day hike from Tuolomne Meadows I did with my ex. | |

| A long, crowded hike, but well worth it. It was funny to see what some people were wearing for a 16 mile hike. Some people definitely were not prepared. Bring a water filter! The cables were incredibly crowded so give yourself some extra time if you're doing this on the weekend. | |

| My 11 year old son wanted to do this and we had a great heavy duty hike up the cables. Going back in the heat was hard on the knees for me. While I was ordering the promised victory pizza, my son fainted but was revived enough to enjoy it. | |

| Summited via Snakedike and then down the cables. A long 16+ mile day but well worth it. | |

| a good hike, shame about the concrete at base of the falls. Saw a bear and 3 cubs on descent- fantastic moment. | |

| Started at 4:30 am, took most of the day due to slower climbers in my group. Mist up, JMT down. Out of water for a couple miles until Nevada falls, those faucets there are realy great (and popular!). Can't wait to come back, Cloud's Rest next time... | |

| I have climbed the peak multiple times before. But this trip was with friends. Much fun, despite the lack of sleep. | |

| Bruce Christensen | Midnight hike Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2008 | |
| John Muir trail up, Mist trail down. Left the parking lot at midnight, arrived on top around 5:30 a.m. We took a nice long break (45 minutes?) because we didn't want to arrive on top too soon and freeze ourselves before sunrise. Sunrise was amazing. Highly recommended. Took about as long to get down as it did to get up. Suggestion for night hike: take JMT up (it's not as steep), Mist trail down (the waterfalls are absolutely amazing). | |

| Cables route as a dayhike, made a loop - up on JMT, down on mist trail. Someone wigged out on the cables during the descent, making for a big traffic jam. | ||

| fatdad | Free three sides | |
| NW Face, 1980. First (climbing) trip to the Valley,I was sixteen, and climbed it with another 17 and 18 year old. My first wall. We had two of these new fangled things they called "Friends." All the rest was stoppers, hexes and youthful enthusiasm. Snake Dike, the early '90s Soloed it after a buddy and I go stormed off Mescalito and were on pout patrol. Next time I'll look at a top before leaving the rope at home. My worst ascent was hiking up the cable to meet some friends on the NW Face and help them carry their gear down. I carried just a pack with two ropes and some gear but no sleeping bag, etc. Spent a long cold night on the summit only to find they bailed and day and a half earlier. | |

| We started in the valley around 445am. Wait at the base for two hours for three parties to clear. I would avoid Sat and early season next time. | ||

| GroundControl | Beautiful Morning Day Hike Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2008 | |
| Hiked via the Mist Trail and came back using the JMT. Absolutely beautiful ~16.5 mile hiking day, best of course to start early to beat the crowds (we started ~6am). | |

| TJ311 | Long Hike Date Climbed: Jun 5, 2008 | |
| Whew what a long hike. It was well worth it though. I loved the cables at the last part of the ascent. My feet were killing me at the end of the day. Total was 17.5 miles. | |
