Half Dome in a push trip report

Loved the write-up. Congrats!

• gasp* a TR on MP? What is this madness?

That's a different strategy. Wonder if you would start at 7p again instead of starting just before sunrise?

Still one of my favorite routes.

Very well written. Congrats on the achievement!

great story dan.

Thanks for the positive remarks! On the start time, we didn't start at 7pm as the result of any great strategy. Our only thought was that we wanted to do both HD and the Nose within our week in the Valley and that we couldn't waste a minute. 7pm was the earliest we could start given our flight schedule. Also, we had ruled out waiting at the base of the wall since the spring was dry and we had to hump all our water.
