Things To Do On TOP of Half Dome!

OK, there are plenty of "Climbing Half Dome" videos out there (at least 3 are mine!), but few go into what there is to do once you've reached the summit. Turns out, there are quite a few interesting features up top - and I'm going to show them to you! Also, I definitely had the best gear that day and it worked flawlessly. After testing various systems on a previous climb, I narrowed it down to the following loadout (for a full explanation, see my "Climbing Half Dome" video beginning with cables down: https://youtu.be/POgYv78LpGo?t=1115).
