Almost exactly 9 years ago, I hiked it the first time with a few people, including my sister Andrea. At the end of that adventure, I said I would never do it again.... Well, never say never!
This was my third time doing this hike. I loved the two girls I hiked with: Kari and Alicia. We really did enjoy each other's company, and thank goodness because it took us 14 hours to complete the adventure. Yikes!
We were on dusty switchbacks, natures granite stairmaster, and sucking serious wind as we climbed the major elevation.
It looks like a trail of ants. A trail of ants over 600 feet long!
Those cables are pretty steep...
I have never seen anything like this... I am standing in this line to get up those cables! It was just as packed as a ride at Disneyland! Was there an email sent out to get EVERYONE to hike Half Dome today? It was fine, it just delayed our hike by 2 HOURS and we ended up hiking part way down in the dark.
At the top and loving it! (Dad not loving that I was so close to the edge though!)
Now, will there be a fourth time? We shall see....

Of course there will be a fourth time...with me!!!
I've wanted to do this hike since we moved here...who else would I hike with?!?
so cute about your dad:) Do you have to sign a waiver or have a doctor's approval. I honestly think I would have died and taken some people down with me.
Heidi- I will do it next year with ya! The cables are down until Memorial Day, so we will plan on after that.
And A-Dawg, I would have helped you not to die! Amazingly you don't have to sign a waiver or anything.... parents took 10 year old kids up it! Yikes!
