Oh man, I had zero interest in setting all that up again and try to shower and cook and all that stuff. The hotel was the best $$$ ever spent that night haha. Thanks for watching!!!!

I hiked up to Half Dome twice back in the 90s, the first time I had to turn around at the base of the cables because of a storm heading in, but the next year I went back and finished the hike. I took the Mist Trail on the way back down knowing I would get soaked! Both hikes were very memorable! I visited Yosemite Valley over a dozen times when I resided in CA. I hiked virtually every trail the valley had to offer. The most difficult one I did was up to Glacier Point. Those were the best of times for me. I’m 79 now and moved to Kansas, but I still enjoy hiking on occasion! Nice video btw’ 😎

What trail did you use to get to Glacier point? The "ledge trail?"

I've done this hike six times (would've been 7, except one time we could see lightening in the distance so we turned around at the bottom of the cables). The first time, back in 1979, three friends and I lugged up a full-sized old school metal iglo cooler, and our packpacks with tents and sleeping bags. Back then you could legally camp on top. There were about a dozen people who spent the night. It was fun watching many dozens of people in the valley flashing their flashlights up at us to say "hi".

The log at 12:18. My wife and I hiked all night on a full moon and then slept under that very log, 15 years ago. The next day we peaked half dome and it about killed me. I found climbing down easier. Almost didn’t do it but my wife said I would regret not doing it. No permit needed then. A giant pile of gloves to use at the bottom of the cables. Almost died of thirst going back down the trails. 61 years old now.

I've attempted Half Dome twice. I seriously suffer from vertigo and fear of heights. Both attempts I had to stop on the way up the sub-dome at the same spot both times. Keeping my eyes on the trail at one switch back there was absolutely nothing on my left side for over 1000 feet and I felt that I was starting to lean into the abyss and had to flatten myself to the rocks behind me. That was it for me. I turned around and waited for my group at the base. If I made it to the cables I doubt I would have been able to go up. Congrats on making it to the top. By the way the "Mist Trail" takes you to the top of "Vernal Fall".

Any hike is harder going down. You’re putting your body weight on your knees and ankle with every downhill step. Going up you have other muscles helping go up. But on the way down every step is a controlled fall and adding the acceleration of gravity plus your body weight is painful. I used to live by the eastern Sierra and every hike I did was painful going down.

Truly a bucket list adventure...I did it in the late 80's when I was 21 years old...and our experience was very similar to yours...it kicked our ass as we did NOTHING to prepare for it. We ran out of food about 2/3rds of the way up...my buddy ate it all...I begged for trail mix for hours...ugh. And upon getting back after leaving at 4:30am and getting back at 5-6pm...we just fell into our tents and slept until noon the next day...then rented inner tubes and floated down the river all day easing our aching muscles in the freezing water!!! GREAT times....

Enjoyed the video. I've done half dome 3 times in my 20's and 30's before you needed a permit. Its a fantastic hike. Some people start up the cables and can't do it. One woman needed help getting down after starting up. At the top some people crawl to look over the ledge. There is triangular ledge you can stand on and its 2000 ft down on either side. I did that but didn't want anyone near me! great pic with sweaty palms. There is a warning at the bottom not to go up top if you see clouds on the horizon. A friend and I saw them a long way off and went up. Up top we started getting a static shock passing the camera. My friends hair started to stand up on his head. We got off fast at the base of the cables. I went to touch a metal pipe that was broken off. I got a big crack of static about 1/2 a foot away from touching it.

Hiked Half Dome in the early 80's during a high water year- started before sunrise and wanted to shoot some images (Ektachrome) off the leading edge. To keep us humble, we were passed going up by a trail runner- I was told they did the full stretch often to stay in shape! The falls were incredible (only Vernal and Nevada are there- it's called the ''Mist Trail''). Could not, for the life of me, will myself near it standing so I crawled over but only within 3'-- so intimidating! It was a long hike down, but well worth it. Got down in the dark- so hungry and tired, but a must for anyone who loves the grand scene- Yosemite! I'll always remember it-

I felt the same way when we hiked to delicate arch in Moab. Hard hike but worth it and will not be doing it again. 2 old people died by falling off the cliff when we went so its not an easy hike. I wanted to do half dome when I was younger and never did. Its videos for me now lol.

I've climbed it maybe 10 times. Met my wife on the first attempt, (successful) , back in 1969. I've mostly climbed it during hikes on the JMT, but a few times just for the HD experience. I've climbed it twice from Tenaya canyon side, (once the cables were down, but we made it up hauling ourselves up on the cables, (they are still there, just lying on the surface. ). I'm too old to do it now. It is a great trip. But there are lots of other great hikes in and around the park. About 4 of the ascents, the air was not that great (smoke and smog) and couldn't see that much. I remember seeing a couple jets (military) zooming up the canyon BELOW us. They can't do that anymore thankfully!

Nicely done. You two are a big inspiration!

Myself and 8 other family and friends did Yosemite in 1995, 29 years ago! We did Half Dome and back in one day as well. We had more snow leading up to sub dome which made it rarely treacherous.

Good job guys. I did it 35-ish years ago. Nice bike selection also!

I'm so glad you made it through, it is brutal if you don't hike much; but so worth doing Half Dome. On my hike up there it had a 1 hour wait to go up the cables because of a traffic jam the whole way up to the top. We started out in the morning at 6am & that was an hour too late to get back before dark & so we had 1 hour hiking in the dark. One girl had destroyed her beach sandals that she decided to wear for the 18 mile hike & she had to walk bare-foot for the last 3 miles -- in the dark. I think someone gave her some duct tape & she wrapped her feet in that to help. We left her & her boyfriend behind with 1 mile to go; we wanted to get home. So fun but tiring.

Awesome job!. We completed Half Dome a second time on June 11th. It is a tough hike thanks to the elevation gain over 5,000'. This time was my last and final time also. It's an incredible accomplishment but time to move on to other accomplishments I think.

Did this hike starting from Glacier Point which saved a whole lot of uphill on the way there. Had a 70yo lady give me a jar of peanut butter so she could lighten her pack before climbing the cables 😅

That sounds like a fun more relaxing route.

I am terriied of heights. I won the lottery for half dome a few years ago. I backed out a week before we were supposed to go. I just couldn't grasp the idea of doing this. I'm impressed that you did this.

@user-ei3ml8jo1s That is also good. I lived in Fresno for 11 years and always hit the Sequoias, Redwoods, and Yosemite. I always enjoyed hiking to fire lookouts too. I miss being there.

10 hours round trip. Got to the top. Before heading back down, took 4 ibuprofen. Helped with knee/hip/back - but I think my boots were a poor fit? On the way down my toes were on fire 🔥. Took boots off a few times. When all was said and done - had to have 4 toenails removed. Still glad I did it. I’m careful with boots and shoes - I make sure they fit well.

Great job guys! Now you’re ready for Mount Whitney

Thank you!! I have been saying No to angles landing for years but on the half dome hike we talked with so many people that have done angles landing and they said it was a easier hike physically but scary from a heights stand point because that small chain section is very narrow for Angles Landing. I think we are going to try it though now that I was able to push through this one.

@@prospectoverlandLooking forward to that video. Angel’s Landing is much less demanding physically than Half Dome (a third the distance) but the sheer drop offs on either sides got to me.

Did this hike with my dad and two brothers. Was an amazing hike and experience. I think you guys documented what to expect really well. There are a lot of people that shouldn't be hiking this trail that do though. The cables are sketch, I'd recommend having some sort of safety system going down if you can. Hardest hike I've done but well worth it.

That's an awesome memory for the three of you. I love that we will have this memory the rest of our lives. I think if we ever did it again I would bring some sort of minimal harness to clip in. Not worth slipping. And yes, there were a decent amount of people that had no business being up there. They were cramped laying on the rocks, throwing up etc and they forget that's only half way. You still have to go back the 8 miles to finish.

It sucked, but it was something we were doing togther after my mom passed so I wasn't going to miss it. My brother didn't believe me until I showed him the giant black bruise from my butt to my Knee. Only two of us made it to the top. Dad is terrified of heights and older brother wasn't in great shape at the time. Cool that you guys have this memory documented. We have a few cool pics from ours.

I’ve hiked it twice in my life, and as amazing an experience it was, I doubt I’ll do it again. Not good enough shape anymore, and I had symptoms of heat exhaustion from another time up Yosemite Falls in 100° F heat. I’d be happy to hike to the top of Vernal and Nevada Falls again though!

Well twice is awfully good. I wouldn’t mind going to sub dome again, just not sure I need to do the cable section again. I’ll wait at the bottom while friends or whoever go to the top. We will have to go back and just enjoy the water fall sections. We didn’t have time to stop and enjoy, had to keep moving down the trail. Man those temps sound like they were awful.

But that’s an awesome commitment you have to your life style, doing it for 50+ years. 👏🏻

Mist trail to Half Dome is one of Americas’ great hikes! Done it twice

Good honest assessment of the difficulties. People need to be very informed for that hike. I have acrophobia too, but used exposure therapy approach to manage it. Half Dome looks a bit too steep for me but might have tried it with a harness/clip in set up in totally dry conditions. Zion is great park. Angels landing is questionable if you don't like heights but has a handrail and isn't as long or difficult a climb.

@@prospectoverland I think my approach was always respect your fears. They are a natural warning system and there for a reason for it. But to try to push back on the unreasonable fear portion of it. So if you analyically can say this is a reasonably safe thing to do (Weather good, equipment good, not alone and well within your physical ability) then you set your mind to stay focused on the task and not on the troubling aspects. Hopefully incrementally, not too great a leap technically all at once.

You guys look very nice people, i hope you guys always be safe

I would not do that hike in 1 day. Did it many years ago (pre-permit) and we camped at the base and submitted the next day. Then back down via the Mist Trail. It was great but I was in my early 20’s. One of the most memorable hikes in my life.
