Push 0 #4 September 11, 2003 I've got two words for ya: hike and BASE. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagny 0 #12 September 11, 2003 that's a sweet pic of half dome! I went there over the summer (hot as hell!) and tried to hike it. If you're doing that in one day like I tried to do, start before 7am! I made it one mile from the top before I had to turn around since I didn't want to hike down in the dark. After a 4000 foot increase in elevation, I hated to turn around, ya know...

jams 0 #15 September 11, 2003 i went there last weekend, to hike to the top, but my friend in from Maui didnt have the strength, so we got as far as Nevada Falls.... still it was schweeet!!! if you really want to give it a go, spend the night there and get a start befor the sun is up, like 7 am at the latest.... and have good shoes. they take the cables that are on the top, the last 1000' ascent, down in the middle of October, so that folks don't get caught in a flash storm, and they put them back up in the spring... get out and do it!!! check teh yosemite web site. i ran into an austrian guy i had jumped with at the nor cal free fly fest that was schemin' on a sunset decent, but i didn't see it..... i pray he and his friend got away with it....m ~ a temporary reconfiguration of stardust Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #16 September 11, 2003 CAn you say BASE..... but the freakin 9 mile walkup SUCKS....and the last few hundred yards is seriously scary. The trail between the cables.. is kinda slick from so much wear from people going up. There is a rock tha hangs out.. which ... uh.. then again.. nevermind. Psst.. I hear that at night the rangers are sleeping. Amazon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
