Features of Half Dome:
We already know that Half Dome is a formidable mountain or mountain peak. From a distance it looks like a thick pillar. Which is set up to entertain the tourists. But this is a complete illusion. It is a massive natural granite mountain. One side of the mountain has a perfect face and the other three sides are smooth and round which looks like a dome shape. The height of the mountain is 1500 meters which is about 5000 feet. It takes 9 hours 40 minutes to cross the hill once. According to some hike guides its length is 16 miles.

Location of Half Dome:

This granite mountain is located in California state of America. It is located at the end of Yosemite National Park, which is now Yosemite Valley.
Curiosity of mountaineers around Half Dome:
Hikers flock to Yosemite Valley every year from late May to October. They take reservations long in advance to get there. Because there are so many mountain climbers. Park officials cannot provide adequate facilities. So they decide the riders by lottery system. It happens that riders make reservations about 3-4 months in advance. Offerless charges a fee for each reservation. That's $10. But in October or so, climbers become somewhat discouraged. That's because it usually snows in October or November in California. Then the journey is not smooth. They fear heights and cloudy skies. It's just that many parts of Half Dome remain dark. Then many people fail to control themselves, as a result, many people suffer from various accidents. Many died. So far 60 people have died on Half Dome, which is really painful for hikers. But still the hikers did not stop.
What steps can be taken to climb Half Dome:
There are many hikes currently under Yosemite National Park. In this they get adequate protection and guidance. For the 120m climb of about 400 feet, the park authorities provide metal cables and comfortable gloves. So that passengers can travel comfortably. Apart from helping them, they also need to take care of themselves. For example, it is important to have enough water or food, tablets in the bag, if it is mostly dark, then it is also important to keep the light system. It is also necessary to understand the situation and take measures. It should be noted that the metal cable becomes slippery due to snow and there is a risk. Not only that, if there is a little bit here and there, then the danger is certain. Because under the metal cable there is the deadly vernal waterfall. Where there is no escape. Another thing is that 60% of the rescue workers of the park are busy helping or rescuing riders in danger. Then think once how terrible this half dome is.
Last word:
Questions arise from people's curiosity to know. Man knows the danger but there remains his question of what, why, how, etc. And to find answers to all these questions, people go to those places, even if they are terrible places.
