Ascent Trip ReportA relaxed and scenic hike, eventually to Snake Dike. Late start, many detours, a routefinding SNAFU scrambling up to the South (wrong) face and back down, and we started the technical climb at 2:30 pm. After the third pitch we decided to rappel down and walk back, so we wouldn't be caught looking for the (down) cables after dark on top of Half Dome.
