I took a trip with Kurt to tackle a 20+ mile hike to get the the top of the Half Dome peak at Yosemite National Park.
nice view of the Sierra Nevada
Western town on the way to Yosemite
If you don't want to get stuck in traffic on the cables, you gotta leave

Here are the cables--they are really steep. And at nearly 10,000

Unreal views from the top of half dome.
Some show-off climbed the other side of the mountain with ropes.
