Yosemite 2009

 

 

At last the cables. This guy, like many others, used a safety harness to strap himself to the cable

 

Hanging over the edge, you can enjoy some stunning views and a queasy feeling in your stomach

 

From up here one could also see the fire, by now apparently under control

 

Now with the pressure off, on the way back, more wonderful scenery to soak up

 

And a somewhat shy doe and her offspring

 

 

 

The Merced River just before it falls over the cliff, has lots of logs in it

 

I decided on a steeper but faster (gravity assisted) path back

 

It's really quite safe, but just as careless people every year fall off the waterfalls, there is always someone who manages to slip and fall all the way to quick finish

 

It's a long way up, and to illustrate, I used arrows to point at other climbers
