I've conquered Everest, scaled the face of Half Dome without cables, and climbed the spire of the world's tallest building, all with just a few clicks!
Pssst....that's nothing. I've stopped bullets with my teeth and mated (well, one time, anyway) with a Siberian Tiger. Sounds like you need to live a little, lol.
The guy in this video was making ppl nervous. Just bullied right over everyone. To grasp the cable like a showoff. Could make some one lose hand hold,footing.I understand people don't want to wait. For slower ppl but that's a accident 😐 Ready to happen to crowded. Imagine if thunder storm rolled in.It happens,current going through cables. Electrocution alot of accidents deaths up there.
Can’t remember if I needed a permit in 1967 when I was 17, Did it in tennis shoes and cutoffs, dangled my feet of the edge on top; it is a deeply impressed memory still today at age 71. Good video ❗️Enjoy👍🏼
joseph allan kugler Back in the day, (mid 60's) I did the hike to the top a total of six times, usually with my younger brother or other family members. It wasn't unusual to meet others doing the 'climb' but never the madhouse it appears to be today. Once we were told the cables were not yet up, but decided to hike to the base anyway. When we arrived at the base, we found the cables were lying on the rock and just hadn't yet been elevated. So, we decided to go to the top anyway, just grabbing the cables by hand and stopping often to rest. When we finally reached the top, we were the only ones there. For may years, I've had a large photo of myself sitting on 'The Diving Board' with my feet dangling over 5000' of ''nothing'' hanging on my living room wall. However, my "Most Iconic Moment"....once hiked to the top of Yosemite Falls and worked my way down into the canyon the water flows through, walked to the very edge with my shoes right at the 'knife' edge and the water from a heavily flowing stream at the top of Yosemite Falls shooting out into empty air six feet from my right. After about 20 seconds of this, I begin to sense a little vertigo and, although the wind was calm, I realized a sudden gust and I would join the river at the very top of the fall, and judiciously backed away a bit.
@@HikeHalfDome when I went 9/29/16 My buddy and I had a permit but there wasn’t a ranger there to check. I got to the cables around 9-930. Is that normal? Awesome video by the way!
I got half way up and the dude's hat in front of me blew off. I watched it for a couple of minutes as it fell 3000 feet. I grabbed the cable and scooted down.
Fred Smith each person is attached to bungee cords that are attached to points along the rock. If you loose footing & fall you will bounce about 3,000 feet downward but will bounce upwards 2,999’ so you’ll end up in back of the person that was in front of you not needing to start at the beginning, pretty ingenious, no?
I would be hugging that rock stomach to the ground like a baby... They might even have to come pull my ass of that rock. Some people just arent cut out for this type of thing. I respect those who can deal with it.
this just seems straight up stupid, one person starts falling could create a major disaster for everyone. they changed it now so the people don't bunch up like this
Those poll can get pulled out. It wouldn't be any fun.Having so many people/pushing you out of the way.Some people have to act all Mr.Mountain Man.Walking on the outside is dangerous.
@@biancagoodnight1750 The cables are still there whether the pole are or not. People are supposed to be using the two line safety method of always keeping one lanyard connected to cable at all times. Sure, people may fall down, but they'll all still be connected to the cables.
I made it to the top on July 4, 1976. I got up before dawn and hiked through Curry Village to Happy Isles and set off. Since I was alone, I could set my own pace. I do not remember a crowd per se, but I guess it was because I was there early, because I was 24 years old and in shape and went quickly. I wore combat boots if you can imagine that. A couple on top asked me to take their photo, which I did. I had no camera, but I have my memories.
I did this hike with my dad at about 14 years old. I went ahead of him because people kept breathing down my neck. Please give people some space. It's not like you tailgating me is gonna make everyone in front of me go faster
It's beautiful but holy anxiety! My heart is racing. I can't help but feel terrified that someone from above could slip and drag everyone down. Hopefully people hiking this are doing so with good judgement of their limitations!
yes daniel, it was one person though, she didn't take anyone else out. so scary. mr. deutsch i bet she was walking outside the cables to pass people. what % of people use a tether thingy?
If you have trepidation - don't do it. Read Pg 153 of "One Best Hike: Yosemite's Half Dome" for an explanation why home-made harnesses are not a good idea.
I’m 61 now, but I hiked to the top in 1990 with my then girlfriend Shubi. Half way up she froze with fear and would not continue. I had to really cajole her for several scary minutes before she worked up enough nerve to start moving up again. Finally we made it to the summit and stayed up there for 3 hours. Absolutely beautiful breathtaking views. We hiked 8 miles to get to the sub dome, climbed to the summit and stayed for three hours and then hiked back 8 miles. We slept like babies in our tent that night. I’m so glad I did the hike then as my fear of heights has gotten so much more pronounced as I’ve gotten older. A lifetime memory that I’ll never forget.
A co-worker who has climbed Half Dome thought I should do it. But he did it before it was crowded. When I see the number of people, especially those walking on the outside of the cables, I decided not to try. Too many people, too many selfie takers, too many people who are reckless.
It's pretty time ecnsuming to make these quality videos. Plan, film, edit, post on RU-vid. I've covered a lot of topics - what wold yo like tosee? I have a ton of videos on my RU-vid channel -> ru-vid.com
He dosent tell you the part of how your knees can start shaking uncontrollably on the way down. And at times just buckle right from under you.... and its and ALL day trip. First one must hike to top Vernal Falls then proceeded from there to back end...that's only half-way..... yup...leave early....
I think a skill level of you should be accessed before you tackle this beast. It might save your life. Everyone on line looks like a freakin tourist. I am a tourist and 67, I wouldn't try this hike ever. I can get the view off of google search.
3:16 What???? "The poles can come out, just stick it back in." LOL! Mind blown why people do this. I like nature too. Emphasis on the word LIKE, not love. I'm here because I just read about how someone fell and died. Now that I'm seeing this, I'm wondering how there wasn't a domino effect. Maybe he fell to the side? Man, this is crazy. The narrator's matter of fact voice makes me laugh on so many points "..there are no rules, nobody will check your fitness, as young as 7 or 8 yrs old has gone up, but that's not recommended, but you know your children." LOL! How has there not been more deaths on this thing?
Why ? Well when the rock is wet - don't go up. Period ....the only NPS rules are to have a permit and you can't camp on top. If you are able, you could go up without even using the cables. You are in the Wilderness -> Assess the risk of what you are doing and deal with it. In 100 years, there has never been a domino effect. But what if??? What if elephants could fly? If you don't want to do it - don't.
Nathan10nathan Love it when people say hey you got one life to live so live it to the fullest ....sorry but that doesn’t mean risking it doing stupid crap
I'm getting anxiety just watching this. One of my greatest fears. Nope! I'll just take in it's beauty from afar & not try to tumble down the rock thank you. Kudos to u guys brave enough! 😊👍
Great footage & you got balls man! Just climbed the cables yesterday & now I realize how fortunate I was to get to subdome at 10:30 am on a weekday before Labor Day. It wasn't nearly as crowded as this. I had to comment because you are absolutely right about the friendliness along the route. People down at vernal falls, at the low hanging fruit, were much less friendly. At the top, everybody was your best pal. Friendliness was almost exponentially higher with altitude & risk. Interesting & very cool to experience. Cool video, thanks for uploading!
Thanks for the comment. Right on. We are all in the same boat going up. I've gone up 41 times and it's still fun. I get a fast pulse like everyone else!
@@HikeHalfDome I can't say for sure how many times I've done ^this, but I'd estimate that I've summitted it roughly 41 times fewer than you. This is something I'd 'probably' try. But I'm definitely not going to be free climbing the sheer face anytime soon!
The cables are about an inch thick. They were put up in 1919 and replaced in 1934 then again in 1984. They are nto going anywhere. They are inspected each year.
@@HikeHalfDome the anchor connection at the top could break. any amount of sudden slack would cause a lot of people to lose grip. i heard the young lady who died last week simply slipped and lost her grip of the cable. she was inside the cables.
@@fredsmith6324 Have you been up the cables? Seen the anchor points? They have been there 100 years (The cables replaced twice) and has never been a concern by the Park on them being weak or an issue. Altho no report is out yet, it WAS drizzling when she fell. It is VERY slick when dry...let alone damp.
You are so right. 300 in a big long line going up Everest. Pay your $60K and they will get you on top..so you can brag at the next BBQ. Don't step on the frozen bodies on your way down.
Just climbed half dome on Monday. This is an incredibly difficult hike- I am a novice hiker, 17+ miles round trip and it took our group of mid 20 yr olds 13 hours to complete. I was very concerned with my fear of heights and my concern was valid. I ended up powering through by simply not looking over the sides of Halfdome and simply focused on my buddy in front of me but it was still terrifying. I would wait until later in the afternoon (1-3 PM) to actually begin the cables because there is much less congestion and you can move quickly without stopping to let someone pass. ALSO, Subdome, which is a massive mini mountain is a very tough hike that you must conquer that in order to get to the base of the cables. My advice would be to train extensively before making this hike- it will probably be the most difficult hike you have ever done
pretty disrespectful to climb on the outside past people that are waiting and holding on for dear life...you really putting other people at risk...not cool
Disrespectful? It's a rock face not facebook. He's not harming anyone. If you're at risk because of your fabricated perception of how others acknowledge you, you shouldn't be there.
Thanks for posting video on the way up, but your setting a pretty bad example by going around everyone on the outside of the cables. Way to go interfering with the little girl at 5:08, you know she's crapping her pants as it is, then she's got to fight for room to hold on to the cable because some ace wants to pass everyone.
Especially children with less experience for the unexpected, I would not want to be behind 60 lb. wt. sliding or falling towards me. I would wonder about parents who "know their child", yet would not know for themselves how to recover from mishap.
Its what I thought also. Some arrogance! But thats why he states parents know their own child & that there are only 2 rules. Bc he can be a jerk off if he wants. From this video alone I knew I would never want to know this guy.
I’m surprised children are allowed on a section like that or at least be required to be in a harness and clipped onto the wires. Not really a place for young kids.
I used the cables way back in 1979. Back then all the vertical poles were very wobbly and I remember thinking, WTF???, Yosemite officials approved this wobbly death trap cable rig??? The vertical poles look firmly attached in this vid, thank God, I didn't think I was gonna make it back in 1979. I don't remember any lines back then. We also camped overnight on top of the summit. I believe it was still legal back in 1979.
I'm so relieved I grew up at a time when Yosemite was a true paradise, not the traffic jam it is today. When I climbed this mountain there were 5 other people, if that. This is shocking and would not be fun.
Having climbed Everest I can tell you that you are completely wrong. No one pushes out of line at the bottlenecks. That being said there are plenty of people who should not be doing this ascent, it is deceptively dangerous.
We've had over 750,000 views. I hope it helps you "feel" what it's like. Anyone can do this if medically OK...with Education, Preparation and Motivation. Go for it!! Carpe Diem - Seize the Day! Read "One Best Hike: Yosemite's Half Dome." I also sell "Made it to the top" TShirts - let me know if interested.
I worked for yosemite YCC years ago in highschool for a couple summers, i can attest to the gnarlyness of this cable climb. 2 days after my crew climbed up we had to come back and help search for a missing hiker, it turned out he went up the cables and at some point hopped over them and was freely walking up the side, he slipped and fell for a long time, limbs were missing and he was essentially unrecognizable as a human being when found. It was the craziest thing id seen in life up to that point.
My 12 year old son, his mom and I did it without a problem. People in flip flops were crying on the way down.. don’t be a gumba, go prepared. It’s beautiful and a life remembering hike. ps, the cable stanchions do come out of the holes, so dont be surprised.
Hell NO. I hate waiting in line for a burger or cup of coffee. Imagine waiting on a steep ass rock waiting to get to the top. Tired, sweating. MAYBE I can do it with little to no people but with all those people hovering over you. I can't
Wow!! I can only imagine how startled some people were as you came pushing past them on the outside of the cable. Was there no better time to pull this stunt than on a crowded day?
H5 really? Did you see me push anyone? See my reply to "Dude" Mike Braxus. If you heard the narration. The only rules are: you need a permit and you can't camp on top.
@@HikeHalfDome The 'pushing past' I refer to is your rude and unwelcome manner. What you lacked as a so-called expert in this case was common courtesy.
Way less people on my ascent in 2012, and it looks like it will stay that way with new permit restrictions. I prefer to share the backcountry experience with a solid group of friends who support one another, stick together and avoid unnecessary risk to all. Know-it-alls show offs, seize the day by yourself.
Am i the only one who would be concerned that there is about 200 people who are putting their weight on those cables ? Thats like 10 000kg on those cables and posts...
Man, what a dick move it is to just go around everyone on the right. Not only are you jeopardizing your own safety, but you're jeopardizing others' by potentially scaring them and causing them to lose their grip. Such an entitled way to climb the cables. And yes, I've done it myself.
We did this hike 2 days ago, Dec. 6, 2014. If anyone reads this, and possesses a general knowledge of rock climbing, you should wait for the off season. From the trail head to the summit we saw maybe 30-40 people. Once we passed the Nevada Falls trail juncture, we saw only 6; 1 coming down from Sub-Dome and 5 that came behind us to join us on the summit. We traveled over 6,000 miles to do this hike and the weather was perfect, warm at day, cold at night, and clear skies. We hiked in shorts and shirtless most of the way and only had to dawn cold weather gear before the push to the summit. There was snow on the way up and at the top, however simple common sense prevented accidents. The only caveat to doing the hike in the off season is that the cables are resting on the rock (no metal support poles or wooden 2x4s). Therefore, you must pick the cables up under your own strength and trust me, they are not light. At the points where they are bolted into the rock, the tension is too severe to even attempt to pick them up. We hiked using Black Diamond climbing harnesses, locking carabiners, pressiks, climbing boots, and simple Cabelas brand gloves (more for the cold than anything). For those who are unfamiliar with pressiks, we tied a 3 foot or less rope through our harness using a double-fishermen's knot and then wrapped the rope around the cable twice, forming two bites, and then clipped the rope to our carabiner. In case of a fall, the bites would synch together, create friction, and hold us in place. Not to mention, the cables are also secured by 3ft+ support cables along the path to prevent them from swaying. So, if we fell, we would fall until we reached one of these points. We also utilized a safety pressik because at these conjuctures, and when we swapped cables (there are technically 3 or 4 separate cables), we had to disconnect and re-connect. We then repelled in normal fashion using the Pressik. The ascent took approximately 20 minutes (I rested a bit and took photos), and the descent took less that 10. We left the trailhead at 11am, summited at 4pm, watched the sunset, and hiked back down to sub-dome at dusk and all the way back to the valley at dark. It took us 10 or so hours. My friend and I are college students from Atlanta, Georgia and have attained climbing and mountaineering skills through the Boy Scouts. We are not experts, however, we know how to travel smart, and hike safe. Again, if the weather permits, go during the off season and your experiene will be 100x better. Not to mention, from what I have seen, most deaths happening during the summer.
I wish everyone read you experience. One person saying didn't want to wait on others, a ten year old child to have strength and co-ordination other people must depend upon. Seems extremely dangerous. I think you were wonderful to impress the planning and skill required.
I have done it off season. Only a few other people there. You don't need climbing harnesses - just hold onto the cable. You can climb up the cables in under 15 minutes.
I think I heard of one guy a few years back that slipped during a rain storm and fell to his death. I have to say it's a minor miracle that more people have not fallen off. I'm surprised kids as young as 7 are allowed as well. One small slip and its good night.
Isabel - I was there in June 2009 - a huge cloud came over the top and we got down. Many continued and yes, at about 3 pm, a man slipped and died. Since 1919 when the cables were put up - only 3 have fallen to their deaths when the cables ore up for summer use. 2 were weather related. Half Dome is in the Wilderness, so there are no rules about who is "allowed." Each kid has a parent who knows their kid's ability - or not. With now over 40,000 people going to the top each summer....it's statistically a safe hike.
I've been blessed to do it twice. The view is unbelievable and the moment you feel a bit confident- somebody's water bottle comes bouncing down the rock, disappearing into the valley, thousands of feet below.
Absolutely stupid idea to get people up there. How multiple don't die a day is beyond me. Extremely dangerous and a sketchy set up to say the least. I wouldn't be telling people to go out on the right. People have died doing it this way.
Thanks Rick, I am planning on doing Half Dome next summer (2017). I try to go to Yosemite every year even though I live on the East Coast. It is my favorite place on earth so far..
Great narration really enjoyed the video. I first topped Half Dome in 1972 if memory is right and last did it in 1996. In 72 there were no permits and not crowed at all at least not on the day we did it. Thanks Again
Permits began in 2010...it was just getting too crowded. Park even considered taking cables down...but they decided that giving 45 mins to get down if rain was good...and that's how they led to 300 per day. Read my book: One Best Hike: Yosemite's Half Dome
2:06 omg you grabbed right where she was gonna hold the rope, your callousness coulda killed her. 11:25 Looks like your vid cut off about a minute before actually reaching ALL THE WAY UP. But ty for the full uncut run-through.
Shadow...read past replies that adress this. All is well. Watch again, I show BEYOND the end of the cables. Most others turn off their cameras on the way up....I show every inch of the cable route....all the way up.
@Rick I've scrolled down ~10-15 comments: ppl just telling their life stories, so maybe the replies that address this are +7yr old. Someday YT will auto-show comments based on key words like "grab" "her". As for "ALL THE WAY UP", I may have been technical. Cuz like I said at 11:27, the vid cuts to black, yet there's visibly still ropes left ahead of you. BEYOND the end does seem within view when you cut to black, but the viewer who hasn't actually seen the very end of the ropes doesn't see that it's the very end of the ropes. But thx for getting back to me.
@@Shadow91507 ok, you win. Did you see the people standing without even touching the cables? Yes, that's the end of the climb. All that's left are the cables laying flat...not too exciting or interesting. The purpose was to show the viewer what the whole cable route is like. To see the cables laying down, view my sequel...Half Dome Cables All the way up **in HD** -or- you can film it when you do the hike 😀
Anibal - Thanks for the comment. Did you know that Angel Delgadillo is the one who resurrected Rt 66?? Do Half Dome in 2016. You missed the permit window for 2016....but I have a RU-vid on how to improve your chances of getting a permit in the 2-day mini-lottery. Email me if interested. ricky.deutsch@gmail.com Paypal for $5 helps feed the dog.
Why you have to walk outside the normal path? Do you have some kind of death wish? Hope you got arrested for this. Especially you are also showing this video her on RU-vid so others will do the same.
DeMus - thanks for the question. First - I hve done the hike 42 times and could do it with my eyes closed. After my 8th time ...in the 1990's …. I really got tired of waiting in the long lines just to touch the cables. It’s very hard to stand at a 45 degree angle waiting for the caterpillar to move 5 feet. Since there are few park rules relating to the cables. Since 2010, you need a permit and they prohibit camping overnight on the top. It’s in the Wilderness, where you assess the risk of what you are planning to do and deal with it. No handholding in the wilderness. That’s why the Rangers will NOT deny your hike to the top. I figured why spend 45-minutes clutching to the cable when most people are frozen in terror and not strong enough to pull themselves up. So I go outside and get up in 12 minutes. My personal best is 7 minutes. By using one cable, you get more muscles involved. It’s VERY hard to go up 400 vertical feet at 45 degrees. I use rubber sticky gloves and good boots for traction. I KNOW if I do fall - it’s all my fault - but think of the view I’d get coming down :>) I also go down on the outside. Face upward and I bother no one and excuse myself when passing, as well as offering encouragement to folks. I NEVER encourage anyone to go outside. If you ever do hike Half Dome, do it within your capability. Rick AKA Mr Half Dome
There is nothing wrong with climbing or descending outside the cables. What's wrong is people who attempt the cables without the physical conditioning or the mental attitude. Even with the cables, half dome is a serious piece of rock that should be respected.
No this guy said a bad example some of those people conditioned or not might get the idea that they can do with this guy is doing just because he did it and that's all it takes one stupid person to think that they can do with this guy was doing when they actually aren't skilled for it so all this guy did was set a bad example total dick hammer
Why should they be deeper? They have been there since 1919....the wobble is part of the adventure! Yes, the boards need to be affixed better...you are authorized to bring screws and a boy scout troop and fix them! Really. :>)
Just did the hike a few days ago, and I have to say that while I HAD a fear of heights, I overcame it by summiting this beautiful behemoth of a rock. Willing to do it again.
An absolutely beautiful video. I watched this not too long before my trip was about to begin to Yosemite where I would summit Half Dome with my aunt. Your video provided me with an amazing outlook on the hike and informed me on many things I was concerned about. I summited Half Dome on July 2nd, 2019 at 15 years of age and I couldn't be any more thankful for the experience.
They should replace the "boards" with some type of heavy duty plastic coated with bed liner type material for traction and bolted into the rocks surface.
Hi Tallymon. My point was to show going up the cables...not a complete tour of Half Dome. I do it non-stop in 12 minutes. You see every step. You will not find others that fast. RU-vid only gives you 15 minutes for free. Mine fits. Other folks only show snippets of the cables going up. You can actually go up with me.....watch it on a stair stepper.
The load was reduced in 2010 when permits started..went from 1,000 to 300.. i filmed this in 2009. Read prior comments on domino theory...wont happen..
I went with 5 friends. After researching it and knowing our ages, we decided to camp overnight at Little Yosemite which got us to the cables with very few people there. Also, it cut the trip in half and much more enjoyable and able to take in the scenery longer. Worth the doing, but as been mentioned - prepare for the hike, it's long and strenuous for most people. Thanks for the video, btw.
There is a line for inside the cables... and would be for the two outsides, but most do not want to go there. There are only two rules...you can't camp on top and you need a permit. Would Sean rather spend 45 mins or 15 to get up?
Do not attempt this if you are not in good condition. I was a long distance runner and also worked out at the gym. I suggest not taking pre-teens. I hiked it back in the 80s. I left the valley floor at sunrise and got back after sunset. You are already at high altitude when you leave the valley floor and you are going to gain 4000 more feet. If I had know what was waiting for me at the cables I might not have gone. When I saw it I could not believe it. To be honest , If I had been alone I might not have gone up. But I met some other people on my solo hike and joined their group and I did not want to look like a scaredee-cat in front of them. The view was worth it and I got to see someone climbing up the face. So in 12 hours I hiked there and back ( about 16 miles?) gained 4000 feet going up, went up and down the cables. I compare it with running the 26 mile marathon I did once. I left my backpack at the base of the cables to go up. When I got back the ground critters had eaten holes in it to get at a snack I had inside....had to buy a new one back at the valley store. I think those critters have a racket going with the pack pack sales people to increase sales.
Good points. As I mentioned, my friends and I camped over night at Little Yosemite, cutting the time in half - even then, still a long hike! Yepper at the little critters, too. Had that happen to friends while hiking the Grand Canyon.
If I was hanging onto the cables for dear life, and someone tried to push past me on the outside of the cables, making me change my grip to give him room, I'd get a little testy with him. Do you ever run into that when you go up this way?
No...I'm very polite...asking to put my hand where they are not. No one gets testy. I offer advice and encouragement as I go. How was YOUR experience going up the cables? You HAVE done it, right?
Marvelous video. I had fully intended to go up, but I chickened out at the bottom of the cables. So I was happy to climb it on video. Much easier and less dangerous.
I was there 30 years ago. I started to climb up and realized that if I was to slip and fall, I would probably die. So I turned around and went down. This is way too steep and dangerous for the average person. There should be a harness and tether system required for safety so you are always secured to the cable. Surprises me that the park system allows anyone to climb up that route. I can imagine somebody like myself, getting half way up and then becoming too scared to either go up or down and sit there and wait for a rescue. I have skydived at least 13 times prior to climbing and I have a fear of heights, like standing near the edges of tall buildings, getting near tall glass windows on high buildings, looking down old stair cases where you can see 5-10-20 floors below etc, flying in an airplane does not bother me at all.
Awesome....you may want to get my video on how to get permits....there is a lottery in March. They hope to get the cables up on May 24 through October 15. Email me at ricky . Deutsch @ gmail.com (NOspaces)
Your awesome Mr. Half Dome, this video is amazimg. All the negative comments people are saying are ridiculous. You have hiked it numerous times so you are expirenced. and it looks safe too me. I would hate to wait for all thoes people taking breaks.
You are being very naive. Catch video of woman who fell. Like animals, this is real, this is not a planned visit to the mall. This is serious fun, could easily kill you. It isn't negativity, it is reality questioning real dangers. And yes, taking breaks at each person's own level of skill is part of what you aren't recognizing. Your lives are intimately in twined for a while. No room for impatience. Ultimate respect for each other required.
This is one thing I can say...I'm proud to be a chicken and never do it By the way...people don't consider one of the most dangerous things of half dome is you DO NOT want to be on it if there is lightning because it is a huge lightning rod and lightning spreads out all across when it strikes. BTW IM PRETTT SURE Noone is taking the wood for fire wood as everyone is holding on for DEAR LIFE 🤣
@@HikeHalfDome True. A good, fun last ride before death, and a higher chance of death on impact (hopefully) 🤣 as for the cheating hook method... I'd think you would just rag doll all the way down.
@@AdamGbl95 If elephants could fly ...but they never have...neither has anyone rag-dolled down....same odds. Have you done the hike? If you have trepidation - don't do it. Simple solution.
