I know, said never again. But, here we are. Hey!! It’s Half Dome time!! And if Half Dome is a bit much, just come to hang out for a couple nights with us in Curry Village (most of us will stay in covered tents they rent out).
We will know April 1 how many permits we get. So, don’t book until we get all the permits together. Last year we had 40 spaces.
Pull up that morning of the hike starts at 6:15am so we can gather, check bags and bounce shortly after 6:30am.
There are places to stay around the Yosemite but your best bet, will be to stay in Curry Village. We will use the covered tents again this year.
Costs?
Just your travel expense and a special Half Dome shirt we make $40 that is American Apparel triblend quality and breathable. That’s it. Basically covers cost of shirt and organizing. We will handle that once we have all the permits won. But, we wanna and always look bad ass together with them. If that’s not yall flavor, to look like a unit (and its safety and representation too) then, this not the group and hike trip for ya. 🙏
Everyone also has to help pay for the Cables Permit. We apply for permits March 1st to March 30th. $10 each I believe.
Everyone fills out a permit who wants to go. The amount of people each permit requestor asks for is 6.
The dates each person uses is;
1. June 6th
2. June 20th
In that order. I’ll post how it should look on the event page.
We all find our way to drive into the Yosemite area Thursday night or evening and hike Friday morning . Hikers last year came from ATL, NY, NC, Seattle and L.A. We expect the same this year. Last year we had 36 hikers approved to go. We usually get about 24/36 permits spaces. Out of towners will get preference for spaces to go but, I will follow with instructions on how this works so that as many people can take on this 18 mile hike as possible. This is our 7th year doing it. We know what we are doing. We are in good shape, this is a strong group, we will want everyone to be strong. We will want everyone also to represent on the trails together in our shirts for the hike to there.
Fly into Oakland if flying. Easiest airport to fly into. SF in 30 minutes further out. Will work on carpools, etc. as the date nears.
The VERY first order of business comes with applying for permits starting March 1st. That’s key. I will update everyone on how we go about that in February.
Even if you don’t climb the cables, still feel free to and consider coming!!! Even half the hike is beautiful!!
