Stairs Half Dome, USA

In California is a legendary Half-Dome rock - a place of attraction for thousands of climbers and those who want to test their strength. An incredibly complex steep staircase with 400 steps has been cut down in the rock. To climb it, you need to have a good physical training. For the past several years, the main natural attraction of Yosemite Park is annually visited by about 50000 people a year, climbing the rock is allowed only as a part of organized excursions.

Half-Dome staircase will be an excellent way to experience strength for both ordinary tourists and those who have not been a rookie for a long time. The construction, which runs along the slope of a granite rock, can be called a ladder in the usual sense of the word only remotely. Uneven steps were cut in the rock, many of which were partially destroyed and covered with cracks. The railing at the staircase is replaced by two thin metal ropes - the only support during a difficult climb.

Travellers who want to test the strength of the Half-Dome staircase personally should prepare for a long and difficult event. A long transition in the park with a length of more than 13 km is awaiting for them, and then more than 3 km along a difficult mountainous terrain. The final step of the route will be a ladder with a length of about 400 meters. The staircase was designed as far back as 1919 by members of the Sierra Club. It was intended specifically for those who do not have special climbing equipment, but want to enjoy the scenery of the Yosemite Park from a bird's eye view. Next - Stairs Pailon del Diablo
