Half Dome report/picture April 21st 2011

I checked out the weather and webcam of Half Dome and all seemed to be alright. Went a little unprepared...
We got up to the base of the subdome and the rest of my group wanted to turn back. The choice was easy to make while up there but for some reason right now I wish I would have kept going.
There was snow all throughout the trail, mist trail closed.
The patches of dirt stopped and straight snow started about half a mile before the "Half Dome 2 Miles" sign.

It was cool skipping all the switch backs and heading straight up
