| daw37 | Cable Route  Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2006 | |
| The cables weren't nearly as bad as they looked. Patch of snow on the summit made cooling off great! | |

| Livelife4Summits | Via Cable Route Date Climbed: Nov 19, 2007 | |
| Day tripping from a long weekend in San Francisco en route back to San Diergo. Base camped near the Lodge (Camp 4) and took the route via Happy Isles. The Cables were the best part of the whole hike, thank god for the safety harness I brought...would love to do it again when snow is in full effect. | |

| this was my 2nd time up, the first being with scouts many years before. I brought my girlfriend and we left the valley around 4am, getting a nice start to ensure some solitude on the way up. We ended up being the earliest to the top but then had to pass the masses on the way down--some people make the passing on the cables exciting. | |

| ozarkmac | cables down Date Climbed: Sep 28, 1992 | |
| My wife and I hiked up from the valley. When we got to the shoulder, we saw that the cables were laying down (for the winter season) and the climb looked quite daunting. We almost turned around when a lady at least 60 years old scurried down the cables and told us it was not as hard as it looked. With her encouragement, we each grabbed a cable and pulled ourselves on up! | |

| davidjhoopes | Unbeatable Day Hike | |
| Went up on a weekday w/ my wife and Ben (6m old son) and our friends Megan (8m pregnant) and Jon. Should have seen the looks we got on the cables lugging up Ben. Crowds not too bad. | |

| 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. | |

| Sbrande | Half Dome from the Valley Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2008 | |
| 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. | |

| SFMountaineer | Long, Hot, Great Date Climbed: Jul 19, 2008 | |
| 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... | |

| 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). | |
