Summer Bucket List
"The Cables". You can do it!
The Half-Dome “Cable Hike” in Yosemite.
The actual danger can be contained, but your brain won’t know the difference, so what’s left is a life-changing rush and permanent reset deep in your mind and spirit that nothing is impossible.
Ready?
It takes all day, starting before sun-up, (and if you don’t summit by 3:30 you need to abort, head back and try another day) but after watching this excellent video you’ll realize that with proper planning and knowledge, you can do this!
This is One Day You’ll Never Forget, and you could train for it now and DO IT this Summer.
ENJOY!
I just wanted to thank you for your “How to Hike Half Dome” guide. It was the most thorough collection of information regarding the big hike and was an amazing resource to have on the trail. My girlfriend and I saved it as PDF and put it on our phones, so when we had moments of confusion during the hike, we pulled out the PDF and went on our way. It was a lifesaver!!
I’ve wanted to this hike for 20+ years!👏👍😎
Tragedy. Do NOT attempt this with new hiking boots. The directive to use "broken in" boots is not just for fit but so you know how they behave on slippery sloped. I hope this manufacturer is sued.
RIP
