The one thing that is kind of cool of cables down is that the lack of posts means that you can use a prussik for a bit of safety. Looks like you had really nice weather for it.
Just finished the dome last week with cables up. The hard part is the distance combined with significant elevation gain. Exhausting. Temperatures were in the low 90's. Bring no less than 3 liters of water with a plan to filter and refill additional water in the Merced River near LYV camp on the way up and down. Nice video.
They lay the cables down in the off season. Instead of being propped up on rails, the cables are just lying on the granite. You don’t need a permit during this time.
@@seanspangler7385 great point, even though you can climb during the off season, there is a lot of snow and ice. Definitely use caution. If you do go during the off season, late spring, just before the park installs the rails is best because most of the snow and ice has melted.
When the cables are up, the park installs metal post drilled into the rock that lifts them up about 3 feet off the surface along with boards that lay across the post. It makes it a lot easier to climb and the boards give you a place to stand and rest.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Stunning video. Awesome scenery, great music - a treat to watch
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Rough trail it definitely beat me up last week, just finished Angeles Landing today!
Thanks for watching! Angels Landing is on my list this Fall!

Yes, the ability to do a prussik loop was nice. Thanks for watching!

Yes, I took 3 liters and a Nalgene and still filtered my bottle twice. It was exhausting, but I would go again in a heartbeat. Thanks for watching!
That's a great hike. Started out at 2am so we were at the cables around 7am.
Did it the first time when I was 12👍

Whoa dude! That looks insane. Big kudos to you.
The hike was intense, surprisingly climbing the cables was that bad.
the cables looks steep in video n from afar but is not really bad at all..
@@josephsaeteurn9158 yea, the footage from the GoPro makes it look way steeper than it actually is. It’s not that bad, really.
Half Dome is the love of my life!!!
Thank you for watching! Half dome was truly amazing!!! Can’t wait to get back to Yosemite for more epic adventures!
That was intense. Good Job!
Thanks for watching!

Going down the cables harder than coming up.
Going down was actually much easier!
@@CoasttoCoastOutdoorAdventures Different strokes! Cheers!
Why do they take the cables down ? Nice video btw; thanks for sharing!

Because people are dumb and will try to climb the rock when its Icy.

What difference ..cables up and cables down...?
When the cables are up, the park installs metal post drilled into the rock that lifts them up about 3 feet off the surface along with boards that lay across the post. It makes it a lot easier to climb and the boards give you a place to stand and rest.
