Conquered Half Dome

Home after spending 5 glorious computer free days in Yosemite. Who can believe there are actually so many stars in the sky! Where are the stars in San Jose? Hiding out??? Anyways, I climbed and conquered Half Dome – I nearly chickened out once I saw the cables. But when a guy came climbing down with a natural high claiming if a 9 year old girl can climb Half Dome, so can he, I decided to buck up and do it. It was indescribable. Have to admit though, I thought the climb down was much tougher than the climb up.
