Finally managed to gather enough energy to conquer Yosemite again. This time, however, is with a group of NUSEA interns. Cool bunch of energetic students.... making me drive 5 hours through the night up the mountains!
The aim this time round was to scale Half Dome(which is not possible in Fall/Winter). But Yosemite in summer .... is not so magnificent.
This was the amount of water we saw at Vernal Falls the last time in Spring(with WP)....
This is what is left in summer...:(
But oh well, the objective is the Half Dome. After walking 5 hrs of up-slopes, we are hungry, we are worn from the lack of sleep, and dry from lack of water......we finally see the half-dome....and we see a trail of people scaling it already.
Frankly, this is my steepest climb ever. Almost 80 degrees....and looking at the trail of people, i was imagining someone from the top tumbling down like a bowling ball.... i think the outcome will be disastrous. But heck it.... we just kept going!Finally... the top of Half Dome.....
