"It is a crest of granite...perfectly inaccessible, being probably the only one of the prominent points about the Yosemite which never has been, and never will be, trodden by human foot." <br>

A stunning piece of earth.

West and NW faces, taken 5.25.05. Note the still significant snow tongue guarding the approach from the shoulder. Crossing this in Spring can be a dicey proposition.

spent 3 days on wall in this poor weather

The Snake Dike side of Half Dome, and the glories of the high country beyond.

The Death Slabs.

The view from the top of Half Dome is breathtaking

The NW Face of Half Dome is about 2,000' tall, and sheds skin like an onion with dandruff. Caveat escalator!

The easy way to the summit of Half Dome. For some, the down climb...

pure death

Obligatory Half Dome shot last season

A shot I took of Half Dome while on a shoot for Topo Designs <3

I am sure everyone has the same shot, coming out from the pizza joint in Curry Village with the setting sun, receeding clouds. Amazing. Sept 09.
