Wait til the end 😮— ever forgotten the return hike?? Remember: “what goes up”…

⚠️ TIPS to ClIMB #HalfDome SAFELY ⚠️
•
🥾 Wear hiking shoes with good grip! 
•
🧤Wear gloves! Ideally they’ll have some rubber to grip onto the chains. They don’t have to be fancy! I even found a grippy pair of garden gloves at dollartree and livewhatyoufear picked some up at the gas station 👏🏼.
•
🧗Clip yourself to the cables— we saw others who harnessed themselves to each chain as they progressed. I will definitely do this next time! 
•
🚽 Don’t guzzle tons of water prior to getting on the cables. In fact, I ran behind a bush just before climbing! 😬 
•
⏰ We scored backcountry permits allowing us to be on the cables by 8am. If you arrive by 9am or after, you’ll likely have a mad line going up and down —BE PATIENT and look out for fellow climbers! 🙏
