Description
Perhaps the most famous (and the most photographed) piece of rock in the US, Half Dome has fascinated generations of visitors to Yosemite. Its northwest face was home to the first big wall climb in the valley, put up by the legendary Royal Robbins. More recently, the free solo attempt of this very same route helped put a young climber named Alex Honnold firmly on the map. Also shown are some of the routes on the Porcelain Wall.
