I liked the video, but wonder why so many feel the need to add annoying music to the background.

Thank you for watching. You’re the second person to mention the music and now that you have mentioned it, other channels that I watch, don’t have that much, if any, music. I can tell you this, I have a solo trip coming up that I will exclude music from the edit. Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate it!

Nice video... the music sucks...

Thank you for watching. I appreciate your feedback. To help me better understand, was it all the music or one in particular? Thanks again.

Way back in 1987 my girlfriend and I did this hike. Halfway up the cables, she chickened out. I was the only person up there the entire time. Didn't see another soul until I got back down the cables. Most of the boards were missing. Every time after that visit it was more crowded until my last time in 91 it was a solid train of people up and down the cables. I went down the southwest side quite a bit down towards the falls. Steep but the rock face is very grippy. No permits were needed back then. The 87 hike was followed by the Upper Yosemite Falls hike then Glacier Point. 3 consecutive days of brutal hikes. It seems most places require permits these days due to the crowds.

Yes, mass crowds definitely bring regulation which is why we went when the cables were down. Less crowds, there was no more than a couple dozen people at the base of the cables and only a few people at the top. Thank you for watching!

This actually seems safer than the way most people ascend with cables up. The difference is, you are attached to the cable with a no-slip knot, while the seasonal hikers are unattached and free to slip and slide down the mountain. I hiked this once with cables up, and afterward I decided I would only wear a safety harness if I ever did it again. In fact, now I am more inclined to do it off-season like in this video - fewer insane hikers, and absolute necessity to be attached to the cable - no false security of a cable "barrier".

I couldn’t agree more. I think that if I did it with the cables up, I would still have a harness.
@prashuGuna2 ай бұрын
How does the harness work in case of a slip when there are no rails to stop? Like wouldnt the harness and you slide down without a stop?

So we used a climbers not called a prusik loop. In the event you slipped, the knot would stop you from falling when tension is applied.

Is it just me or does cables down seem better?
@CoasttoCoastOutdoorAdventures2 ай бұрын
I have never been with the cables up, so I can’t say. Judging by the videos I’ve seen of the cables up, I would think it is better with the cables down. Thanks for watching!

How Funny, do many people tie themselves to the cables? I did it in April with much more snow and didn't see anyone tying to the cables. I have also climbed it in the summer - it is much easier with the cables down.

Some people will go up with no harness, others only clip in with carabiners. I chose a prusik loop for security in case a slipped. To each their own. Thanks for watching!

Where all the Europeans with their funky shoes 😂. Last time I noticed the lady in front of me wearing ducks. Such an odd choice of footwear for this event I thought to myself. Seconds later, she was sliding off the face of the rock away from me. She got lucky and the guy behind me had really long arms. Where the hell is everyone? We usually walk on the outside of the rails because they’re too many people holding us up. Still looks beautiful.🎉
@CoasttoCoastOutdoorAdventures3 ай бұрын
Definitely would not recommend ducks lol. We went before the rails were up. There were a few dozen people but way less crowded when the cables are down in the off season. Thankful for your friend with the long arms! Thanks for watching!

I was there 3 weeks ago. Did Vernal Falls/Nevada Falls but didn’t have permit for Half Dome. Disappointed but will conquer Half Doom soon enough. Love your video ❤
@CoasttoCoastOutdoorAdventures3 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for watching! Since I went, I’ve heard several stories of people who wait at the base of sub dome,asking other hikers if they have extra permits and each time they’ve gone, they were able to pick one up off other hikers.

Dude! That is insane! Your camera angles really helped show how steep it is - and I have zero doubt it's more terrifying in person! I can't wait to get out there! LOL I just found your channel - Great job with the editing! National Park Service announced there was horrible accident there today (7/25/24).

We could barely get out of the truck, much less walk when we got to Doug’s.
