Hi Community,
I'll be climbing around the Valley and Tuolumne around those dates.
Last weekend I did the snake dike and noticed the half dome is in the shade and in the way up temperatures were really good to enjoy this big wall.
I did The Nose a month ago so I've got a full rack ready to go. The only thing I'm missing is a haul bag if we decide to use one. Probably best to just spend one night at the wall and the second to take a bigger bag with extra water and some food, but I'm open to any plans.
Any takers?

Don't haul on that route, it would be a nightmare. The first part is more like an alpine rock route and goes fast. I did it five years ago in eleven hours with no rehersal and my hair has been grey for quite sometime.
Bivvy at the base and fix a couple of pitches if you must. Days are long and you can always bivvy at the base again after the climb...way better than the Valley.
Have fun!

Thanks for the beta. Yeah I've been reading at other ascents and not planning to haul. A rucksack with some extra water / food and a bivy bag should do at this time of the year.
Still looking for a partner though!!
Cheers!
Juan

As of 7/23, the spring was still there abundant for filling many bottles. The temperature was very good (and warm at night too).
To the party who went up or is going up after 7/23, you'll see a red rope coil (50m 8mm) hanging in the green bush mid way up Pitch 1. It was a line we fixed and jugged on. But when it was tossed, the bush reached out tens of its evil fingers and snatched it from midair. When we went back to the base to retrieve our gear, we could see it but had to leave it because we dropped all our climbing gear at the saddle on Half Dome Trail.
Anyone who goes/went up the route right after us would climb right by it. I expect all it takes is a flick of finger and the coil will drop. If anyone knows its current whereabout (stashed or carried down), can you please get in touch with me (edit: via ST)? I hope to return the rope to Juan. He's on global roaming and will not have consistent reception as I do (back at work), so I'll do the coordination.
If you know someone else who went up it recently and might not read Supertopo, can you pass this message on? Thank you!
