| jonathanluk | Great experience  Date Climbed: Jul 1, 1998 | |
| Glad to have done it well before the heavy crowds and lottery system we have today, even in 1998 it was somewhat crowded on the cables. | |

| Rocky Alps | Cables Route Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2011 | |
| Went up the John Muir Trail and went back down the Mist Trail, and realized I should have done it the other way around just like most people do, upon seeing over a thousand people on the trail near Vernal Falls. The scenery at the beginning and end of this hike was awesome, but I didn't care much for the sandy trail in the middle. The cables were a lot of fun. | |

| ozarkmac | cables down in the fall | |
| With the wife. Almost turned around when we got to the shoulder. With the cables down, it looked daunting. Then down came a lady of at least 60 and she encouraged us to do it. A view beyond words. Hate to be up there in a storm. | |

| mike_lindacher | Electric Cables | |
| Incoming TStorm charged the cables and literally provided shocks when you touched them. Hair standing on end at the summit. Freakish moments. | |

| Descended after climbing Snake Dike. Insanely crowded ! Hopefully the quota / permits have made this less of a madhouse. Remember to bring a pair of gloves. | |

| Florida Frank | Cables down Date Climbed: Apr 10, 1984 | |
| Did this as a solo day hike from the valley. There was a lot of snow at the higher elevations and I snowshoed up to the saddle. The ridge was burned off. The cables were down and there was some ice and snow on the final slope. Being by myself, I erred on the conservative side and enjoyed the spectacular views from the saddle. Once above the falls I didn't see another person the whole day. | |

| 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. | |
