As I mentioned the other day, this past weekend, Ryan & Jacob conquered Half Dome. A remarkable feat. Especially for a couple of guys with a strong aversion to heights. But they tossed fear aside, set a goal, trained with discipline, gathered a huge load of gear, and set off for an 18 mile hiking adventure.

{phone reception was sparse, so I didn't get to view the pictures until they arrived back home... thankfully (for the sake of my sanity)}
{nature's beauty}
{all revved up & ready to go}
{a seemingly impossible trek}
{one of the pics i'm especially thankful that i didn't get to see... until he was safe & sound by my side (they assured me- there was a railing there)}
{somewhere... ovvver the rainbow}
{the final ascent: 400 feet to go... nearly vertical... a menacing climb}
{view from the top... priceless.}
...
Most definitely a Father's Day to remember.

ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so impressed (and jealous). You know I've had this goal on my list for years. I can't wait for the day when I get to see all these beautiful locations in person. Although, I won't be doing the cables. So impressed with their accomplishment. Congrats to your guys.
