Back in August 1993 I went up Half Dome taking the same route as you did, that was before the age of digital cameras and GPS units. Thanks for sharing!
Tip: I had a 10-foot piece of rope and a carabiner which I tied around my waist to secure myself in the cables section, highly suggested for safety in case of traffic in that section.
Looking at your photos over the cables down to Half Dome's 'shoulder', I've always regreted never getting that shot from my own trip. ****** My fear of heights probably won't let me do that trip again, but I have enough other photos and great memories. ******
We just back from Half Dome this past weekend. Left early in the morning with a full moon but the trail was still tough to find in some locations. Thanks to your GPS coordinates, was able to find the trail again. Great hike and thanks for your post.
