| 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. | |

| 96avs01 | Indian Summer Date Climbed: Oct 25, 2008 | |
| 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. | |

| jonmeek16 | 5 Star Route Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2007 | |
| 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. | |

| ScottyS | Minimal gear, maximum scary Date Climbed: Mar 15, 2004 | |
| Well, the descent down the icy cables route was scary, anyway. Our little 30m 8.5mm wasn't in the mood to try and rap that action, and oncoming darkness forced a sense of urgency. The Snake Dike route itself was super fun and over too quickly. Read all about it in our "Half Dome in March" trip report.... | |

| Eric L | Long Day Date Climbed: Oct 28, 2006 | |
| I did this climb with my friend Mickey and his 13 year old son. We started at 7:00a.m in the Valley and got to the base of the climb around 11:00. We had to wait for a couple of hours on other partys before we got started. We ended up toping out in the dark with head lamps on and made it back to camp finally around 3:00a.m the next morning. Excelent climb with great views all the way up. The climbing is easy but run out. | |

| ncfitton | Perfect climb Date Climbed: Oct 29, 2006 | |
| Walked in late Saturday night and bivied overnight on the shoulder of Liberty Cap above Nevada Falls. Started the first pitch around 8.30am - we had the route to ourselves and it was perfect weather all weekend. Took us about 4.5 hours with a 50m rope - we conservatively set up more belays than we probably needed to. You can protect the runout pitches by slinging knobs and flakes. | |

| danbknox | attempted summit Date Climbed: Jun 28, 2006 | |
| After a long hike up, and climbing 3 pitches up the weather broke. Lightening, thunder and hail forced us to retreat. I'll have to try it again someday. | |
