Half Dome Summit Trails

It’s crazy the paths that life can take you. One things leads to another and then to another. From my photo of the 97 Switchbacks At Night came a friendship with Matthews Saville and Sean Goebel. From that sprung many adventures including the Cable Route of Half Dome at Night with our late friend Wade Meade. From that came a contact with an Half Dome enthusiast named Griff Joyce, who purchased a print and said to save this date in 2020 for his 50th birthday on top of Half Dome. For this adventure he wanted me and my cohorts to shoot stills and time lapse of an ascent of Half Dome with 50 people, at sunset and into the night. This July in Yosemite, despite all that 2020 mustered to throw at us, everything worked. I repeated the 2016 angle from Mount Watkins, this time armed with three cameras and lenses up to 400mm shown here. Here part of Griff’s team descends the cables just after sunset with the sun’s last glow still lighting the huge granite face with twilight. In the sky the brightest stars begin to streak in the growing darkness, and the party of over 20 people who remained into the night on the summit can be seen shining their headlamps to and fro. This image is a stack of fifty-nine 30 second exposures added together. The light show was incredible and I wondered what people all throughout the park must have thought at the spectacle.
