| Climbed it while on my honeymoon. Was very fun but did get tiring toward the top. It was quite an upper body workout. | |

| splattski | Quiet day | |
| (back in the day- 1975?) Tom was off on some desperate and I would have been in the way, so I day hiked this by myself. Lots of people down low, almost no one on top. Quite the view. | |

| Hotoven | Long fun hike Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2008 | |
| This was a last minute hike so I was unprepared. Although I was tired at the end, it was well worth the pain! | |

| VermontMike | Cables down = better! | |
| Did this one a few days after they "took the cables down" (removed the ladder steps so that just the cables remained), giving it a rappel-like ascent/descent. Way more fun and hardly anyone up there! Looked much steeper than it was. | |

| Well worth the effort. We started our hike at Red's Meadow in Mammouth. We hiked the JMT to the Fork in the trail that leads to the cables. We camped out at the fork and started out at 5am. We had the cables all to our selves on the way up and on the way down. There was probally 10 people on the top while we were up there. On the way down the trail we passed a-lot of people going up to Half Dome. I am glad we camped out and went when we did. The views were awsome, nothing can compare to them. | |

| justinjohnsen | First long day hike Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2006 | |
| This was the hike that started it all for me. And what a fun route - the wet steps of the Mist Trail, the uphill dirt from Little Yosemite Valley, the twist of the cables, and the views at the top. | |

| SawtoothSean | My Introduction Date Climbed: Jun 10, 1994 | |
| One of the first summits that I did before I advanced to technical climbing and mountaineering. I realized that climbing may be for me as I ascended most of the route without grabbing the cables. I did this to avoid the log jam and get around people. A truely memorable day and the beginning of many, many ascents. | |

| What a classic. The crowds were small on the June weekday we went. | |

| Travis_ | Loved the Cables Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2005 | |
| I climbed the cables on the outside, bypassing the traffic jam in the middle, much quicker, especially on the way down. | |

| Took my coworker to the summit of HD via cables. We started at around 5am and summited within 4 hours. After taking a much needed nap on the summit, wook about 3 hours to get back to the car. It was rather depressing to watch the incredible amount of trash on the trail and the summit itself, left behind by hordes of tourists. Fortunately, the scenery there is hard to beat and it was still quite enjoyable. My 3rd time to the top of this 'big rock' | |

| zodis | Climbed it as a boy. | |
| Year 1972. Took the 16 mile round trip when I was 12 years old with my dad and two older brothers. I was getting really tired on the trail approach and my dad kept telling me it is only a half mile more to go. Going up the cables with the view is something I'll never forget. | |

| My sister and I climbed this in the summer of 1974. The bears got our food above Nevada Falls (this was before the day of bear boxes, and the bears knew to hang on ropes found in trees until the food bag flipped over the branch or the rope broke), but we were not to be denied that photo on the overhang at the summit. 5000 ft of nothing but air!!! Whahooooooooo | |
