This past weekend was camping in Yosemite and hiking Half Dome. The hike is about 17 miles roundtrip with an elevation change of about 4,800 feet. The most insane part is climbing a pair of cables up a near vertical rock face to reach the summit (go google ‘half-dome cables,’ it’s insane) but even just to get to there is an incredible amount of stone steps and stuff leaning towards climbing rather than hiking.
