On the Half Dome Trail at the base of the sub dome. The trail up the sub dome zig-zags the semi-vegetated part of the subdome at the center.

Half Dome cables. One can see two other climbers on the cables. The route is steep but not close to vertical, peaking around 50% grade. Slab writ large. But the exposure is scary. Note that no permit was necessary to climb in 1975, and we had the route mostly to ourselves on a peak weekend in summer.

Bill starts up the cables. Here Dad asked me to walk up to the first rung then turn around for a photo. Notice that I'm wearing gloves and not taking my hands off the cables!

Bill on the Half Dome cables. Dad experimented with "burning in" my image as I was otherwise a little dark in the full-size photo.
