Half Dome was pretty notorious for people ignoring the weather way before the permit system was in effect though. Maybe with every permit people should have to watch the video about the hikers who got electrocuted on the summit years ago when they decided to go up the cables with storm clouds around.by mbear - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Can you expand a bit on the frustration for having FCFS permits, AlmostThere? Would you be worried about them giving the permit same-day? I certainly think that would be a horrible idea. I guess one unintended consequence would be that private tour companies would have a huge leg up, being able to send employees to go wait in line. Not that I have a problem with private tour companies leading hikby mbear - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
To the reply about the $1.50 permit not being fair to someone from the East Coast, I'm not sure how it's any less fair than it is to someone on the West Coast. Everyone who buys his permit legally gets it the same way. In talking to the superintendent of the park, he suggested we could see some first-come first-serve permits for 2012 and beyond, which I think is a great idea.

Haha... someone trying to game the system calls us dirtbaggers. Funny how everyone all of a sudden advertises trading permits on craigslist after getting flagged for selling/buying them.by mbear - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Craiglist isn't a forum for trading things, and most of the time people talk about trades in their ads they really mean sales once you contact them. It's an imperfect solution to flag en masse, but hopefully it will temporarily drive the scalpers out and let regular people have a decent shot at getting permits directly from the NPS without having to go through middlemen. Of course the best solutiby mbear - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Who could turn this offer down? Quote I have 2 extra Half Dome Permits for June 2, 2011. As of now, the website says that the cables will most likely not be up, due to heavy snow fall this winter. We are still hiking it, but 2 of our friends can't join. Both permits for $80. Anyways, this one really needs to be flagged...
