Unless a summit climb is so long that it is impossible to do it in a day, you are almost NEVER doing yourself any favors by staying overnight along the way. The only exception may be altitude acclimation. But this isn’t an issue on a low altitude summit like Half Dome. Now if you want to break up your climb because you enjoy the experience of spending a night on the way up, that changes things completely. But if you are looking to make your climb easier, doing it in a day is MUCH easier than lugging that heavy pack up the Mist Trail.
@lucasterradostuffАй бұрын
You nailed it. Our experience definitely aligned with your advice. If we do it again, we will do it in 1 day.
@matthewstorm5188Ай бұрын
@@lucasterradostuffThe other thing that people forget is that the exhaustion of carrying a heavy pack part of the way is often something that carries over to the next day. You often don’t just sleep this away in one night. ESPECIALLY if that night was a very brief one (as often happens when doing an overnight up a summit).

Great video man! I did it about 8 years ago, up and back from Curry Village, all in one day. My only problem besides having never hiked, was carrying too much water. I probably had a gallon in my bladder, which is like 10lbs. I didn't drink 1/5th of it. I thought the cables were the easiest part. I had gloves with a nitrile coating on the palms. Those were like glue on the cables. I never once felt unsafe or even worried. I would love to do the hike again. Besides the gloves, what helped me the most were hiking poles. No joke, I sort of jogged the way down, and the poles saved me from rolling my ankles a couple times. I think it was like 13 hours roundtrip for me. Long day but well worth it.

Here’s the thing. You will ALMOST NEVER score a preseason permit. In seven years, I have only scored a permit twice (but I couldn’t climb one of those two times due to a fire). And those were for weekday climb dates. Daily lotteries are similarly hard to score, although these give you more opportunities to score permits over the course of the season. Just keep in mind that it costs you money ($6, if I remember correctly) each time you apply whether you win or lose. When I won a permit by daily lotteries, it usually took about 3-4 tries (again for weekday permits).
