Leave it to you to find some obscure peak to climb. It must have been hard to find beta on this peak. Wink
I’ll have to check out this “Yosamite Park” out. Looks nice.

lol. man if I had the time and did any investigation, I would have tried to do a cross country trek from Half Dome to Clouds rest (as opposed to going back to the trail). I was tempted...

Very nice!  I hope to get up there one day.  Cool pix angles on the cable portion - just looking at them gave me vertigo.

I thought Yosemite National Park was an amusement park ride, like the Universal Studios tram tour.  I think you have made a bold and important discovery. Laughing

Nice TR.  It is strange how crowded such an obscure rock can get.  When I was there last, there were so many people, they may have well paved a road to the TH.
