50* incline
Look from the ledge at the top of half dome
far away pic
It is definately a must do if you are into hiking. I ran about 5 miles of the trip. Couldn't run a lot of it due the grade thru the mist trail

Haha, you're nuts. Sweet pics though. Get any of people falling off the cliff trying to take pictures like you with your feet hanging over the edge?

I've done that hike once too. it's definitely a must and probably something you will say once is enough! lol. I heard someone died going up the cables a few months ago. slid right off the edge ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Well I was warned of who to take with me for this hike because it was pretty rough if your not ready. But anyways I went for it and brought her she did bog me down and it took us 12 hrs round trip on what would have otherwise taken me about 9-10 hrs including time to take pictures and about an hr at the top of half dome.... but she kept at it and didn't complain.
We are already talking about our next hike.
