I’m in a pretty good physical shape and I climbed Whitley couple of days ago, climbed Rainier last year and I do lots of hiking. I applied for Half Dome permits but I didn’t get it. I’m wondering if anyone here with the permits has one extra spots available in his/her group and would let me join them.
Here is my Instagram page if you’d like to know more about me before deciding if I can join :
North Dome has grand views with no crowds . If you start at Porcupine Creek Trailhead on Hwy.120 you can summit North Dome ,hike the North Rim West to Yosemite Falls ,and descend to the Valley . Good luck !
I work here in the Valley and I'm still at 100% success rate telling folks to just hike up and talk to folks on the second half of the trail and/or see folks waiting on top of Sub Dome that chickened out on the cables and use their permits.....like a bunch of years running no one has ever not topped out. The reality is at least of a quarter of the permits go unused each day because of schedule issues, injuries, or fear - that's 100 spots per day! Woot Woot!
