I was sitting around reading my new climbing book and decided to climb half dome the next day. I woke up around 4 am, got to Yosemite Valley at 7 am, and got on the trail at 7:15 am. I then hiked up to Half Dome where the last part of the climb was a bit steeper and a bit scarier than I thought it would be. I made it though! I got back to my car at about 7 pm for the finish of 12 hours of hiking. Oh man, what a day. I took a half hour nap, and then drove home. A perfect training day for Mt. Rainier.
