I've been up the cables about half a dozen times, and down the cables a few more than that (after climbing Snake Dike). I've never clipped into the cable, and never felt the need (maybe because I was young and foolish). HOWEVER, I am planning to go up HD this coming weekend with my 12 year old son (his first time), and I will have him fully rigged with harness, slings, and carabiners.

Concerning the snow, I brought snowshoes and used them for a stretch, but I think I would have been fine without them. For the most part, I was only sinking in maybe 4 inches max without the snowshoes. Can you do your planned route without a Gby SUMBO - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

My plan is to go up Snow Creek on Saturday, and meet up with family and friends at the top of Yosemite Falls trail on Sunday, so I'm kind of stuck with starting up Snow Creek. Hopefully I'll find a crossing spot somewhere up the creek - I'm pretty patient. Thanks again for the infoby SUMBO - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi, I'm a newbie to this site, but I figure if anyone can give me some info and advice, it will be someone here. If I can manage to snag a permit, I’m planning to do an overnighter this weekend, going up the Snow Creek Falls trail, traversing over to Yosemite Falls and coming down that trail. Although I’ve been up both of these trails before, I’ve never connected the two, and certainlyby SUMBO - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
