"Summiting Clouds Rest, with a GoPro."

7/12/2016

Well, I had a beautiful trip, although I didn't accomplish nearly what I intended to accomplish.
Not enough training this year, plus I was attempting too much weight, and distance.
Nevertheless, I had a great trip!

I knew enough early on to cut my trip short.
I only did about 15 miles instead of my expected 30.
That's OK.

By nightfall, when I wasn't even to Clouds Rest yet, I set up camp.
I had intended to be past Clouds Rest, and mostly to Half Dome before camping but I saw that just wasn't going to happen.
Time to recalculate my trip.

Second morning, I went for Clouds Rest with only a daypack.
I've already decided to not make the entire trip, but to enjoy what I can accomplish decently instead.
I'm here for a vacation, not a "Challenge!"

I'm including my video short here, "Summiting Clouds Rest with a GoPro."
This only shows my last 10-15 minutes of the hike to the summit, but shows some of the best hiking of the entire trip.
You know, the most exciting.

I have another longer video I'm working on which shows more of the trip.
I'll post it later with the account of the entire trip, but for now...

I like hiking, backpacking, day-trips, cool events, and photography.

These go well together.

I also like cooking, and I make some cool, homemade spices.

If you want to do Half Dome and you get there without a permit, you are NOT doing Half Dome.
