in the video the trip to half dome took two days- night of rest. is it possible to do a round trip from the valley to the peak of half dome and back in one day?

Yes. Many do it. ... ( 4 months ago by JerryHughes11111)

Yes. Many do it. Best is to get a ride to Glasier Point, very early, then hike from there. Views out of this world!!! Then on the way back, hike to the valley floor.

No, it's not 90%. ... ( 4 months ago by JerryHughes11111)

No, it's not 90%. It's something more like 40-45% but varies. Don't know the actual figure. Yes, some people have fallen, just last year in fact but all you have to do is hang on to the cables.

yes it's possible! make sure you allow about 10 hours to complete it. My brother is not a hiker at all and he did it with me in 11 hours... good luck, it's an adventure to remember...

I did it this past weekend. It took me 13 hours from curry village to and back with plenty of resting. I plan to go back again in july to get some good pictures at the top and a long video.

Most people do it ... ( 3 months ago by estopsteve74)

Most people do it in a day starting from the valley. It's really not that tough if you are in half way decent shape. Take the John Muir route on the way up and the Nevada/Vernal falls route on the way down.

Been there, done this, nine times - all in one day! 200lbs of gear?!?!? What are they carrying?!?!? ...a kitchen sink?!?!? Real men and women do this in a day. Great hike! The trail has had MAJOR improvements since this video was made.

For your tenth trip ... ( 1 month ago by openroadtv)

For your tenth trip, try carrying a Sony broadcast camcorder, tripod, lenses, cables, audio gear and enough batteries to shoot for fifteen hours without recharging. Then take the time to record every move, retrace your steps to shoot close-ups and different angles, stop (while everyone else continues hiking) to capture the great scenery, interview other hikers along the way, and come back with enough great material to construct an 8-minute broadcast story for a major-market television series.

For me, I keep traveling light. For you, I am very impressed and applaud the finished product. I am certain you'll agree that the Half Dome train is not for the faint of heart. It requires both mental and physical ability working together, especially on the way back down when it feels like your body is being pounded into the ground like a tent stake. Unlike some of the nut-jobs that comment on You Tube, I sincerely mean the compliment. You guys truly are amazing! Keep up the good work.

I have never been anywhere near Yosemite Park, I live outside of the US. But man, wow. I discovered this by finding a picture of Half Dome in my new computers sample pictures. I am not sorry for taking the time to look it up and watch this video. Now I know that the next time I visit the states, I will be visiting Yosemite Park as my no. 1 destination point!

Just came back from Half Dome in September and the hike is not for the faint of heart and the cables are scary. Just hang on and enjoy the hike...! It was worth every step and the views from the top...breath taking!
