Adrianna Tan<p>I think the people saying half dome isn’t scary are maybe honest, as if you have extensive outdoors experience it probably isn’t. But for the average person, it is scary and dangerous. </p><p>When I did it, I was a moderately fit person who still had to train a bit in order to complete the many-hours long hike and climb. The dangers there are if you go on your own or with people who aren’t experienced there are so many ways it can go wrong. </p><p>I was fine because I went with a group with guides and they were like if you’re scared I will escort you back down. If I’d just gone with some random group I would not have felt so safe. </p><p>Still one of the scarier things I’ve done. I have also not been as exhausted as I was hiking to, then climbing it, then hiking back to camp. I almost fell asleep walking back. </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Yosemite/comments/1m66yqt/how_dangerous_is_it_to_hike_half_dome_and_does_it/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reddit.com/r/Yosemite/comments</span><span class="invisible">/1m66yqt/how_dangerous_is_it_to_hike_half_dome_and_does_it/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Yosemite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Yosemite</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/HalfDome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HalfDome</span></a></p>
