That's the spirit! :) It is an amazing experience. Thanks for watching!

People do this on a fruit diet and fall off.

Inquiring minds want to know.

the same way you go up.

Carefully.

Yeah, the same way you go up, you come down. I found coming down much easier, but you defintely want to be careful.

It shows you’ve got some common sense

The day I was there I think I saw 1 or 2 people who tied off. The majority didn't. I brought stuff to do so, but decided not to.

@@ShawAdventuresRUclips Thanks!

It seems like that tragedy has made Half Dome a popular search on RUclips, which is probably making these videos pop up more, but this has been popular for many many years. This video was recorded in late September 2023.

What do you mean? It’s always been a destination spot for climbers etc. The first man to climb it was in like the 1800s. This video was posted almost a year ago. More people are searching it, and so it’s in the algorithm and will show up.

I did not see a marmot. That would have been cool. Thanks for watching!

That’s so strange lol. Wonder what his journey was like.

I think $10 for the permit and then also the park entry fee.

I wouldn't want to be below!

Yes it is! A really unique place. Thanks for watching!

She was not wearing a safety harness clipped onto the cables. Otherwise she would have only slipped maybe 10 feet and had a bad scrape.

@@LizaSachdev The rocks are slippery when dry and like ice when wet. The cables also get slippery. Look how steep this is. You can't get a good grip with your hands or feet. She wasn't the first to slip and she won't be the last. Idk why the park doesn't require people wear harnesses.

​@@neenee_marie77most of it is not that steep; or difficult; that can make hikers underestimate the need for extra care if caught in a storm.

@craigbritton1089 Ah. So not steep, just slippery?

@MOAB-UT Please read both of my comments in this thread and the one above my last comment and see the conversation. Also please note the question mark which means I was asking the person above me if it's steep. Question marks usually mean a person is not stating a fact, but are instead asking a question.

There are spikes in the ground that you have to unclip for about every 20 feet. Everyone is inside the cables. There is a wood shelf you can rest on inside the cables. Traffic jam too. I used a harness and was fine.

If people rappelled it would be a horrible traffic jam; and probably more accidents as rappelling accidents are a major part of climbing deaths.

@@craigbritton1089 I had a harness when I did half dome. I did not repel. You calmly and safely clip and unclip one of your two tethers. One tether end from your Y cable stays on a cable at all times. When climbing up, about every 15 feet you have to clip one end of your Y to the upper section. The lower tail remains on the lower wire section until the upper one is secure. Same simple procedure going down only in reverse. I was far more confident so I moved literally about 2x's as fast as everyone else who was clinging to that cable for survival- same going up. I flew going up. Remember, someone above you could fall and take you off the hill.

@@MOAB-UT I was pointing that out to the person who said you should rappel outside the cables.

who cares

The granite gets very slippery.

You turn around and go home. I would only attempt this on a sunny, dry day and use a harness...like I did. You cannot however clip on anywhere on sub dome which you have to navigate first. It was very tricky and I was not comfortable on it. I found Half Dome easy. I was fully clipped it- two clips so one stays on at all times when you click over to the new section after the poles every 20 feet.
