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.

"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>

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
