Yosemite. Just the thought of this place is magical. The towering granite rocks and ever flowing waterfalls. It is simply one of those places that is good for the soul. Last weekend Charlie and I and our friends Matt and Cath (Matty is my South African brother) packed up our cute little golf and headed to the park. Our mission: hike Half Dome. Mission: accomplished.

17 miles (actually more like 20 when you adjust for the accidental detour)
4,800 feet in elevation gain
8,842 feet above sea level

Did I do the whole thing in Vibrams? Abso-flipping-lutely.
