Another couple shots from near the base of Half Dome.
The final peak. As it turns out they had already taken the cables down that run to the summit. However, this did not stop some climbers from climbing to the top anyway. Those four specs you see in the middle of the picture are people on their way down.
A view up the valley from near the base of Half Dome. Thunderstorms? I don't see any thunderstorms. Do you?
The warning sign. The sign reads "Danger if a thunderstorm is anywhere on the horizon do not pass beyond this sign." Lightning has struck Half Dome during every month of the year. Did I mention that snow is occasionally drifting past us? Hmmm....
