Half Dome, Yosemite National Park,
California
The 5,000-foot move to the highest point of
Half Dome is the most strenuous of Yosemite Valley's day climbs, and it's the
last 400 feet that are the most unsafe. It's a close vertical climb, and
keeping in mind that there are stepping stool like metal links to enable you to
achieve the summit without shake climbing hardware, tumbling off them could be
destructive....
