Half Dome

It was Nick's idea to climb Half Dome. We did it last year and although it is beautiful hike, it is extremely long (16 miles) and intense! A lot of people do this hike each year but we decided to do it uncomfortably fast. We charged all the stairs and switchbacks, making it to the top of the cables in 3 hours. We ate lunch at the top and made it back down in about the same time, although we did run the last mile. The run resulted in some minor injuries, skinned up hands and legs, but a faster finishing time!
