To be able to make the commitment to carry all that equipment and to have the strength to make the complete climb and endure such a strenuous experience is beyond my comprehension. Also, the training one takes to do this starts years before with smaller climbs before this kind of achievement. Hope your lives are safe throughout your many adventures.

Not for a second am I interested... However, thanks to all who have, and especially who have filmed it so I can sit back and watch safely! ;)
Awesomeness great views of the Valley Floor! Thank you so much. Blessings 🙏
scenery is so beautiful, yosemite is incredible! thanks for sharing this with us, really enjoyed it! 😁🙏
as a person that fears heights some of the views and perches you took your breaks on had me shivering. Holy crap how is you can sit over a ledge with thousands of feet underneath you??? Crazy stuff and I guess you are living your best life so kudos for that pursuit. Congratulations on this climb and all the ones in your future.

I recommend the cables route up to half dome. I am terrified of heights too, but was able to make it. The view from the top is insane.
held my breath...the whole time. Stunning climb/video
Really awesome! This is always so intriguing and exciting, my palms are all sweaty watching climbing videos, even though I've bungee jumped, sky dove, hike high up on cliffs close to drop offs where a fall would kill one, I'd love to do this one day, probably mostly out of fear, for the challenge!
Thank you for taking us, mere mortals on this wonderful adventure! The POV was just breathtaking. My heart would have just stopped if you put me here 7:46. Gravity will then just take over lol. I envy you guys. I could almost feel the rush of adrenalin and joy albeit maybe just 1% of it At 9:27 I felt dizzy and almost fell of my chair hahah
never ceases to amaze me what some folks need to do to get thru life......
Wow. Brings back memories. Thank you.
Amazing photography! Half dome! This video deserves an award! I was terrified!
I'm really impressed with anyone who decided to do this before they have the training and experience to finish in a day, or worst case day and a half (sleep on the big ledge underneath the zig-zags): The logistics of having to carry several days' worth of food and water makes everything a _lot_ tougher! Well done!

Hello everyone Congratulations on climbing the Half Dome Wall. Thank you for the beautiful film. I wish you good tours. With alpine greetings Raphael Wellig
Wow! That made my stomach flip a few times -- nicely done guys!!
This was amazing, the level of technical skill required is almost beyond this world.
Well done gentlemen. Years ago, 1993 and 1994, I went to the valley with friends and we did Half Dome, Lost Arrow Spire, and The Nose. That wrapped up our big wall climbing list, but man, it sure was an experience. I went back to ice climbing which was my most favorite climbing experiences.

Its much harder to climb now than when you did it. The best holds erode the most over time. I climbed Half Dome in 2004 and 2019, it was much harder he second time around. Ice climbing is definitely easier, but I still prefer the challenge of rock.

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing 👍
I m afraid of heights, I could only watch it for 8 minutes. These lads have great control and obviously no fear of height.
Incredible footage of climbing on the Half Dome!! I hiked to the top through the cable before, I always wonder how people could climb the vertical North Face!
Congrats on a fantastic climb. I have to admire these climbers as to the challenges that they endure on a climb such as this. To be able to make the commitment to carry all that equipment and to have the strength to make the complete climb and endure such a strenuous experience is beyond my comprehension. Also, the training one takes to do this starts years before with smaller climbs before this kind of achievement. Hope your lives are safe throughout your many adventures.

I watched my transmission line crew do these sorts of climbs. With heavy equipment hundreds of feet up in the air. I admired them so much but could never do anything but ride in the helicopter.
I have enjoyed camping and climbing many of the climbs at Joshua Tree but my hats off to you for making that climb.
Beautiful in every sense of the word
This was amazing!!!
Absolutely terrified !! just you have done this freely kind of crazy freak 😢 watched to see is terrified .. how can you climbed up there !! my god!!! 😢
Wow, I haven't been there for quite a while, nice to see people still doing this stuff!
Man, the shots on the Thank God Ledge are amazing. Bucket list stuff...
Great job, especially with all the extra gear making it a tougher climb. Be very proud of yourself, not just for the climb, but for the way you present it to those who may never have the want or chance to climb.

Having chest pains just watching this… never in a million years would I even come near doing something like this. I get shaky just going upon my roof.
How courageous of this young man and others who attempted this dangerous and terrifying climb
Incredible!
I already didn't like heights, but after machining breaking granite for 9 years these freak me out even more. It can take surprisingly little force to sheer an entire face off. These cliff faces were deep inside the mountain not very long ago too.
Impressive bro, you deserve more likes and subscribers
Oh that was awesome! I LOVE that you didn’t put it to music and I could hear the wind! It’s been so long since I’ve been on the rock or in Cali. I use to climb at Stoney Point with Bob Kamps 25 yrs ago! Really enjoyed the rawness of the footage and editing: refreshing! NATURAL! I felt like I was ON the rock, not watching a climbing video. Brought back memories! Thank you brothers. Btw: nice climbing!

How you’re supposed to do it, or how many people end up doing it? You’re supposed to poop in a plastic baggie, which is then usually hauled in a drag bag with your gear. The idea is to not pollute the place with human waste. Lot of mountains in california require you to pack EVERYTHING out with you.

@@user-bb3rx7mh8k Yes - most. Just looking at Yosemite; if even a noticeable percentage of the hundreds of bigwall ascents/attempts that take place there every year resulted in a fatality - bodies would be 'piling up at the base', YOSAR would be overwhelmed and the Park Service would have probably banned such activity years ago.
Still an amazing feat .... Takes real mental strength to complete a atsk such as this !
Insane climb. Congrats! I hiked around the back and was scared going up the cables lol. And, you know that wingsuiter probably hiked up half the night to jump off, probably exhausted from the hike. Badass.
