Amongst all the anxious news, the cabin fever, the stir-craziness, and the moroseness, I did a little browsing in my own blog today and came across this adventure, now eight years in the past.
I thought you might enjoy this story again. Climbing Half Dome. Just reading it again cheered me up.
This is one of my favorite blog posts…on any blog! I love the vicarious adventure climbing a rock as iconic as Half Dome. It leaves my palms sweaty, my mind thrilling, with no chance of falling. I have shared this with many people – younger rock climber friends – as well as people like me who would never dare such a feat. Thank you for your chutzpah in making the trek, your true-to-life descriptions, and your evocative documentation!
Thanks, Karen, for this post. Isn’t it funny how our palms sweat when we read stuff like this. It was fun to re-read it last night many years after the event.
