I've been in your shoes, and you never quiet get comfortable with being called hero, but there is no doubt you saved a man's life that day. I've also been up Half Dome and had someone above me drop a water bottle. If you've been there, you know how steep it is and how AMAZINGLY calm you'd have to be to come up with the plan to use the cables to rescue him, and how brave you'd have to be to step out on the face alone outside them... Wear your title proudly, hero.

Dude, I was there when this happened. I was coming down behind the dude who tried to retrieve his cell phone battery when he dropped his phone. I came down pretty quick, and had to pass that stuff up. The Helicopter was called in cuz it was late in the day. The Rescue Team was already hiking up fast, and I did not have a Permit, so I got well out of there ($5,000 Fine). While switching from climbing shoes to Hiking Boots I seen this dude come up with taking the upright galvanized poles out to have the cable reach him. VERY mpressive.. I was down by then I came down while this was going on past that because there was nothing when I looked back up this guy was stripping out the polls and he definitely save that guy because the rescue crew came up. I don’t know about 40 minutes later or 30 minutes later I’m not sure and helicopter couldn’t land so it was too windy. But I remember the guy who was doing the film, kept saying James that guy life I remember the guys name is James

I don’t like the amount of inexperienced people that are granted permits for this hike. They clog up the cables when trying to descend because they have such a fear of exposure.
