I would absolutely climb the cables with a harness and a tether with clip i dont care if I have to re clip at every pole I'd rather be secure to the cables and therefore at least if I slip or anything I'm not falling off

People are rational with the other known ways to die. Like guns. Great White Sharks. Explosives. Hurricanes. But the mortal risk with heights, not enough people are scared. More people are afraid of Bigfoot, than they are of falling off this mountain. I've seen it! And what do they do if a hornet swarm goes after them up there? Call a cop?

This video is a gift for every daydreamer out there. Thank you!

I used to rock climbing, damn near fell and slipped on Rooster rock, Columbia River gorge, new years day 1978 freezing rain unexpectedly rolled in. Ya, here I am. For half dome id bring an O2 meter(72yo)😊

Do the Rangers walk up to their station every day?

Extreme fear of heights, would make that impossible for me.

Hab heute dieselbe Tour gemacht ….traumhaft 😎…allerdings mit dm Bike zurück nach Gaflei 😅😅😅

I'll stay on terra firma and a flata thank you very much.😮

Hiked to sub dome in 1969 or 70; not early enough to summit. Did Yosemite falls; no water flowing, crawled out & spit off from near vertical position, as it's a big long curve! Couldnt turn around, so inched up backward on fingers & toes! Yikes!

Lovd the footage, especially @ top. Would like to see view looking back down at route up, & southern Sierra..

Thank you for the excellent video. We really appreciate that. We're trying to do with the cables down at the end of october. We're training. Really appreciate again the blow by blow on the cables

i would go just to climb the first part of it, I wouldn't climb the cables. I wouldn't consider that a fail, because i"m scared of heights.

Notice how some of the guys at the very top walk so close to the very edges with such ease. I'd be fearful of one gust of wind or one slip up.

Thank you for a most informative video!

worst music ever. Id love a musicless version

Has anyone tried this who has asthma?

This was super useful! Thank you 🙏 how long did it take you to reach the top and then come back down to base? Did you take any breaks (aside from the peak) or was it non-stop?

Sub dome had me shook more than the cables. Such a great experience though

stunning!

Incredible run...as someone with vertigo i couldn't do this even if held at gunpoint, so glad there are daredevils like you that do it for me!

Thanks. Does the train to Saargens continue on to Innsbruck?

Great video, thank you for posting!

Music just destroys, wonder why nature doesn't have any music coz it is nothing but a pleasant noise of distraction

Thank you!

Great video. Race kit was a big headache for me in my Ultra runs. I missed 2nd bib in my 1st Ultra Trail run At TMBT2013

Absolutely beautiful footage. This is the best video of the Half Dome experience I have seen!!

Final re-watch of the video before race day tomorrow. Ran the last segment from La Flegere a few days ago, and it was super helpful. Unfortunately, they threw us a curved ball and activated hot weather kit 🤦‍♂️ It’s gonna be one tough battle. All in all, thank you again for helping me prep for the race!

It’s hard to believe anyone would do this

Thought I'd watch 5 min and ended up watching the whole thing! Really gives a feel for what this hike would be like. Thank you.

thank you for de video , IS really interesting❤

Just so you know, I am re-watching this video religiously everyday between now and race day 😂 Also praying that weather will be nice, no hot nor cold weather gear required.

great video man..nice to watch before running there next week

Do they accept euros

Great awesome video. Well done. Showcase the difficulty of making this climb and having the sheer strength and will to accomplish it. Did I see a young kid about 15 up on that mountain?. Not sure I could ever have done that climb and I've made some challenging climbs in my life. The music and video presentation was great. Happy trails brother

It looks as though the ‘steps’ up to sub dome are worse than the cables? It’s hard to tell how steep it is. You should have looked down. Would a fall during that part of the trail be potentially deadly? My balance isn’t what it used to be.

Why did I wear my bowling shoes

Just the hike to get to the ropes is treacherous

why do people do this hike with huge backpacks that arent suited to this type of terrain hiking?some energy snacks and fluids is all you need,plus a change of underwear if required due to any slips on the way😂

Great video! I completed this hike about a month ago and enjoy watching videos like yours to relive it. Unlike you, I did not use a harness/via ferrata lanyard, but I will if I do this or another similar hike again. As you mentioned, and I agree, I'm more concerned about others not harnessed and the potential of them falling and taking me out in the process. If I'm harnessed in, I'm protected in the event this happens. This scenario crossed my mind once I was on the cables, BUT, that's a little too late, right! :) Another thing I would do differently is purchase and bring (as recommended by the National Park info) a water filter so I could refill my water bladder and bottles at the various rivers/streams along the trail. I brought 5 liters of water and felt that was plenty, but I ran out 3/4 of the way back and was dehydrated by the time I reached the end of the trail and the water fountains. I promptly bought a Sawyer Squeeze and it was a blessing to have and use on a following hike I did on my trip. Lastly, given the elevation gain, I recommend having and using trekking poles. They help with balance (especially on sub dome), engage your upper body so you can assist your lower body and help out greatly on the descent by reducing the stress on your knees and other joints!

Has anyone parachuted from the Dome?

How long does it take from the bottom of the cable to the top of the half rock arena?

How many hurt themselves on the way up an down on the Half Dome Rock? What about rocks fallings when climbing?

Beautiful, scary and dangerous looking too. I would like to know how wide are the rock steps? Looks narrow on video. Amazing views.

Thank you for neatly organized bag! And for unmistakable guide to gear check and packing, love this! One quick question, maybe you'll know, are the waterproof gloves available at Chamonix? If so, do you know the price range? I'm no longer in position to order them online and wait for the delivery.

Geesh..this was a roller-coaster of sketchy, terrifying cliffs and absolute beauty. Parts of it looked like what I imagine Mount Doom to be lol. Great video as always!

Yikes! That trail looks narrow @ 21:04. Beautiful though. Great video as always.

Very well done 👏. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. No obnoxious, distracting music, and I like the way you have information displayed. It's very helpful. Take care

Wait it looks like it’s more dangerous walking up sub dome .. at least there’s cables up half dome.

Thanks for your sharing! Your video will help me alot in my 2024 CCC race! Congrats for ur finishing!

The cables don't scare me, even after the recent tragedy - what scares me a little bit is the unpredictability of sharing them with total strangers
