    Hi! Do you remember the dates of your trip? I scored one permit for the core starting June 13. I’ve been trying to get an idea if I should plan to attempt doing the same itinerary as you guys or maybe just stay at colchuck for a couple nights. Did you use the snow shoes much or mainly just spikes/poles? Thanks:))

    Sure, this was June 4-6. It was a fairly standard snow year. This year I believe is a bit below average for snow. The snowshoes were a fun idea but were pretty much useless since the snow was much too wet for 90% of the day. The spikes, however, were a must-have.

    Daniel, you are so lucky to have a father who is willing to go on these adventures with you. And as for those grey clouds, well that is a part of being out in the wilderness. Gotta just take what comes and roll with the punches. Thats a part of what makes it an adventure. Be flexible and open to the weather conditions. Loved seeingyour video in part because we get to see a part of Yosemite that most people don't visit. Thanks for sharing.

    There have been 24 deaths on half dome cables. It is foolish to do without harness and 2 slings with carabiners...connected to cables at all times. Not using protection is disrespectful and not valuing the gift of life. IMO.

    In this case, I was never truly off trail, just off the main trail. In any case, I have a number of navigation tools. Most of all, however, in snow with good weather, I can always follow my own tracks back!
