It's noteworthy that when the cable poles are removed so are the wood planks. The wood pieces are helpful. But you've proven that they're not necessary. Good vid.
Can you buy the kind of harness at walmart? I will be there at June but i feel even if the cables are not up i can do it soley with my hands, using a harness just as a safety net. Does it make sense? If i havecwalking poles with me, can i just leave them on the foot of half dome while i am climbing?
Yes you can leave your trekking poles at the bottom. I don't know if Walmart sells climbing harnesses. You may need to check a climbing store or online. Hope you can make it to Half Dome. Many people do it without a harness with the cables up.
For 1/2 Dome, it's not traditional rock climbing. You have to be dedicated to the task & fit though. Some hikers turn around @ sub dome. But if you wanna get there - you will. Focus on how good it'll feel. Every time you'd see a pic of 1/2 Dome, you'd think of a certain day.
Great video Señor. Asher!!!
Gracias Joey!

I also run down them hills at the park.So much easer on the body.Gonna do this in early April this year.Your video makes it look real!!
Glad you enjoyed it and hope you have fun on Half Dome!
Wow, wow, wow. I feel like peanut butter and jelly got attacked.
I agree...
That look sketchy but fun
I recommend it! Thanks for watching Josh 😊
Thanks for watching!
@@theworldhiker1 Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….
That’s a great place 👍
It is! Glad you could visit
I think it's easier without the cables. No crowds, and most importantly you get to walk on the more rigid less-slippery surface.
I agree. Without the cables and crowds makes for a nicer day.
Thanks for the video. What leash did you use?
Good question! My friend lent it to me, so not exactly sure
You look familiar did you do eBike reviews?
Hi there. No I don't.

Was planning on doing this in November, was curious what time of year you went in this video?
Good idea. This was in November right after the permit season ended.
How are the carabiners around the cable supposed to stop you from sliding down? Are there points where the cables is bolted down in segments?
Yes, there are points where the cables are connected so you would slide down until these points if you slid.
With the cables down what equipment do you need? Just a harness and carabiners?
Yes, We just used a harness and carabiners with a short leash.
So does everybody not use prussik knots?
@@natebombdiggitydawg we felt fine clipping in and out
Did the granite feel slippery? What kind of gloves did u use?
We felt good on the granite as there was no frost in the sun. We used work/garden gloves.

Do you have to have rock climbing experience to do this?
We don't have rock climbing experience and felt fine. Depends on how you feel with heights though...
