Half Dome night hike fines?
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2010 8:29 am
I've never hiked half dome during the day, always do a night hike, starting at 10/11PM and reaching summit before sunrise. I've done it 5 times now, but with the new permit process I'm curious to know how things will pan out. I doubt they have someone at the top of sub dome at 4am. Correct me if i'm wrong please.
I was not able to get a permit and would like to visit the park sometime this month. Curious to know how strict the rangers are, and most importantly what the fine is if you descend the cables without a permit.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
