Half Dome Hike - Yosemite National Park. Vernal Fall, Nevada Fall & The Mist trail
Half Dome is Yosemite’s most iconic attraction in all of Yosemite Valley. The trail to Half Dome from Yosemite Valley is an extremely strenuous hike covering over 17 miles. Hikers gain 4,800 feet of elevation along the trail that passes highlights such as Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall, before reaching the cables on Half Dome’s steep granite domes. Steel cables and wooden planks are placed along the dome to assist hikers to the summit in the summer months. The cables are removed every October, and replaced in late May.
Permits to hike to the top of Half Dome are required seven days per week and
reservations will be distributed via a lottery system. If your bid for a permit is successful, you will be notified in early April. A maximum of 300 hikers will be allowed on the Half Dome cables per day. There are a limited of first-come, first-served permits available daily.

Hiking up Half Dome Yosemite National Park
My girlfriend and I hiked up Half Dome at Yosemite National Park in July of 2011. There was an abundance of water because of the melting snow. The trip took us a little over 12 hours round trip. Make sure to research the hike before attempting it.

Hiking Yosemite Halfdome Cables at Sunrise
May 2013. We started our Halfdome trip from the Little Yosemite Valley campground at 2:30 am. We reached the sub dome right at sunrise and climbed the cables chasing the morning golden light to the top.

Climbing Half Dome via Snake Dike
Graham and I started climbing less than a year ago in the gym but after meeting on the bouldering wall at Mission Cliffs, we ignorantly made it our objective to climb either half dome or El Capitan within the year. We had no idea there even was an easy route up Half Dome but after one trad trip under my belt and a decent amount of time watching videos on multi-pitch climbing, we set out to the Valley with Half Dome as our objective. We spent the first day on the Swan slab perfecting our multi-pitch technique and learning how to climb crack (Graham also had never climbed outside before so he had to figure that out too). We woke up at 4 am in Camp 4 the next morning and got to the base of the climb before anyone else. About 5 pitches up, we noticed a line of 4 to 6 other groups just waiting to get on the wall but we were cruising through and made it up to the top a little after 1 pm. Did the approach, climb, and decent in just under 12 hours car to car on September 19, 2017.
Half Dome Cables Yosemite GOING UP
Footage Ascending Up The Cables, Half Dome Yosemite National Park, CA
Half Dome Cables went up on 5/27/2016 for the 2016 year. Grateful to win the lottery permit pass for this wonderful hiking half dome experience! Our day hike began at the Mist Trail just before 4:30am. We arrived at the cables around 10:45am. Half dome climb took about 30 minutes to get to the top. We made our decent at 12pm and arrived back to our car around 5:30pm. We plan on returning next year in May trying to climb Half Dome with the cables down! Highly recommend to hike half dome.

Yosemite Vernal Falls Hike, California June 2016
This hike was up to Vernal Falls. It's amazingly accurate at telling you just how out of shape you are! The trail is easy, but an almost constant climb. Once you get to the base of the falls, it's a wet mess, but a wonderfully picturesque view. Climbing to the top of the falls reminds me of some videos I've seen of some crazy heights in far off lands, but this is perfectly safe. At the end of the video is some bonus footage of the river above the falls, and the roaring waters that contribute to the spectacular falls.
Half Dome Cable Ramp II (2014)
My backyard Half Dome Cable Ramp returned to duty, a little over a half year after ramp use for my first Half Dome hike ( I hadn't planned to do this hike again, but my wife and son expressed a desire to take on the challenge. I certainly wanted to experience that event with them. More practice followed on the backyard ramp I built, and onward to Yosemite. This video captures some hike features missing from the first one, Half Dome Cable Ramp (2013). You'll see more of the Mist Trail, with Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall. This time the cable was a bit more crowded, and I wouldn't recommend the ascent at all if you are acrophobic as I am. The whole reason I built the ramp was to practice climbing in a way that I wouldn't have to look beyond my feet and my hands on the cables. When it's crowded, there's more chance you'll see where you are and there's even a chance of a strange combination of claustrophobia AND acrophobia. Somehow my family and I powered our way to the top. It's a really, really tough hike folks (especially if you're in your 60s like me). It's hazardous if you misstep in many places along the route, as you'll see here. I strongly recommend studying Rick Deutsch's excellent book 'One Best Hike: Yosemite's Half Dome' before you take this one on.
In a separate video from this same hike, I put together this short 2-minute production...
