| Nigel Tufnel | Descent | |
Hasn't voted | I've done the descent both ways and highly recommend the raps. North Dome Gully is a long way from the route. You can do the raps with a single 60M rope, it takes 15 raps and uses the intermediate stations. | |

Hasn't voted | I've descended both ways as well, and I preferred NDG, mostly because I like to walk, and hate to rap. Even with two ropes, I think it took 10 rappels to the very bottom. If raps are comfortable for you, and you are proficient, the raps likely are quicker, although the ctc times of 1 hour or less take the NDG. It helps to be familiar with the area. Thanks for the comment. | |

| cleopatra | Yosemite Falls Descent | |
Hasn't voted | I've walked off to the Yosemite Falls trail (9 miles), but it involves 1400' of UPHILL hiking to get to the trail, a long up/down section, and then down the YF Trail, which is tough on the legs IMHO. The hike kicked my butt, and I like hiking. But fun if you have the time/finish early! | |
