Contrary to popular belief and straight up bullshit, this morning was BEAUTIFUL for going up half dome. In fact, I and another guide led a group of 10 up and down the cables before 930am. The thunder clouds rolled in at about 1030am. We were camped about 300 yards below the spring on the HD trail. We didn't see lightning before 1130 (granted it doesn't mean it didn't strike before then). I adviseby KtothemGuide - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
