If you are athletic, but realistically hold a history of sporadic clumsiness, is Half Dome worth the risk in November?
(I'm not a bumbling mess, I just remember taking a hard fall backpacking while backpacking in rainy weather in Torres del Paine and understand that some places' warnings about slippery rocks could be a myth and other places' warnings could be life saving.)
Ideally, I would like to hike earlier (hint to anyone who has weekend permits in the safer months.)
Thanks.
