Half Dome - Cable route vs. Snake Dike
Report this Post
Average: avg_1 avg_2 avg_3 avg_4 avg_5 (0 ratings)  

I am heading up this weekend to spend a few days up at little Yosemite Valley and want to have some climbing fun

I was toying the idea of using a rope to lead up the cables route, but after looking at pictures of the cable route, it looks a lot smoother and stepper then I remember.

Note: The cables aren't up yet, so it will be a lead climb.

I was curious if people thought it would be easier to do Snake Dike.

The only worry I have with snake dike is the cam placement in P1.

-I have lots of experience with setting up top ropes and sport leading
-I am familar with the placement of trad gear but I haven't done it on lead before but I feel confident that if snake dike only takes one piece that I could do it.
-I have also not done any multipitch climbing but I have JL's anchor book and have read Freedom of the Hills.
-I am a 5.10 sport lead outdoor climber

Thanks for your help.
