Soloing Half Dome

I hiked Half dome and it was a tough enough task as is... this guy climbs up 2000+ ft with no ropes, just the clothes on his back, a satchel of chalk and the ***** of a titan!

So much awesome!

5.7R for Snake Dyke:

SuperTopo for Snake Dyke.

To everyone who doesn't speak climbing that means technically undemanding, but sustained and quite exposed. Considered a classic route.

Course he isn't doing Snake Dyke, but heading up the face...
