| Hyadventure | Snake Hike  Date Climbed: Oct 3, 2009 | |
| 3 hour approach, 2 hour wait, 4 hours from the top of the route back to camp, For about 2 hours of climbing, but well worth the effort! Loved the climb. The descent on the cables is probably the scariest part of the climb. Lead 1, 3, and 5, simu climbed 7 and 8. Was able to walk up part of 7 and most of 8. Climbed with Forjan, bighornmonkey, and Shirley | |

| We started late from the trailhead (10:30am) thinking that all parties would be on route by the time we get to the base. WRONG! When we got to the base, there were 4 parties ahead of us waiting. Some had been waiting for 4 hours. Anyways, fun climb! We got to the summit of half dome at around 6pm. | |

| Looking down between your legs at 120' of dangling rope, it may occur to you that you may as well be free soloing... :) | |

| fatdad | Solo ascent | |
| I third classed this in the mid-90s after I buddy and I got stormed off the Captain and I all that restless energy needed a release. The first pitch and dike were no problem. The friction pitch was totally dicey. I would've bailed if I thought that downclimbing would've been easier than going for it. A beautiful climb. I'd love to go back in saner conditions. | |

| Just like 96avs01 said below, it was very busy on Snake Dike this day. The warm temps brought every out at the end of October. Our group had 4 paired-up teams: Luis & Vicki, Will & Christine, Cory & Mustafa, and Miguel & Joan. A fun day out with good friends. | |

| Busy day on Snake Dike with the balmy Indian Summer weather. My first multi-pitch in the Ditch. A great route on an amazing piece of granite. Will definitely be back for a repeat in the future. | |

| Climbed with Mark and Steve. Didn't like the runouts or the super long day, but still a rewarding climb. | |

| Snake Dike is one of my favorite climbs of all time. We live a couple hours from J-Tree and go there all the time, but the views on Snake Dike are awesome! Super fun and easy climbing. We left at 4:45am on the trail, reached the base by 9am. Started climbing by 9:30am and summited by 11:30. Hung on the top for an hour then headed back down, and were done by 4:45pm. Nice long 12 hour day!!! Celebrated with many margaritas that evening at the cabin in Groveland (30min outside the gate off hwy120) | |

| Rice Climber | Night Climb* Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2007 | |
| Started climbing mid afternoon, equipped with bivy gear, a pasta dinner, and a bottle of Pinot Noir. Last few pitches and the 3rd/4th class to the top were done in the dark (made things interesting). Fun times, fun times... | |

| Sharon | Long wait = new friends! Date Climbed: Sep 22, 1993 | |
| Climbed several times over the years: 22 Sept 1993 w/ Richard Brown of St. Albans, London -- who I met via the Camp 4 bulletin board. Delightful day! Rebolted 6/1992. 15 Sept 1994 w/ Steve Reynolds. Met Jochem & Beate Becker from Germany that day while waiting in line: the start of a great friendship that endures to this day. Saw 1 snake on the hike in: eeekkk! Avoided the worst of the steep slabs & brush by keeping to the far right when clambering up Half Dome's base to the start. Lots of boulder hopping. | |

| One of my first longer climbs. Bivied without sleeping bag after a moonlight walk in with 3 friends. Awesome climb, though Jeff sprained his ankle on the hike out... | |
