Hiking Half-dome
I have added hiking to the top of Half-Dome in Yosemite to my bucket
list. Does anyone have any advice or experiences to pass on? |

Traditionally you must carry a fifth of Cognac and fine crystal snifters for the summit celebration. Also, the fixed cable is more crowded than the Hillery Step on Everest, so go out of tourist season at least. Pay attention to forecasts of afternoon thunder showers: avoid lightening which has a perverse habit of knocking climbers dead for being the highest point on the summit. |

I understood there was a NPS-approved champagne vendor at the top. My plan is to go on a weekday in September, although my travel plans are still being adjusted to accommodate soccer schedules and the like. |

I'm betting an EMERGENCY SOCCER GAME will break out in Yosemite. Tell you what. Give me the contact info of the NPS officer you lied to and I will discuss your plans to get drunk in a national park. |

More research - in San Diego we have a microcosm of the Half-dome hike: Stonewall Peak in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. It is a 2-mile hike from the campground, gaining about 900 feet and ending in a railed stairway the last 50 feet or so. See photos he http://www.t246.com/stonewall-peak.php If I hike up 5 miles from the other end of the valley and do the stairway climb 10 times in a row, that should be a start for training. |
