Holy moly, the view from the top of the Half Dome is incredible. Videos and pictures cannot possibly do it justice. You are a fortunate man to experience this, thank you for sharing with us.
Breathtaking!! I can't help but think of the strength, bravery, and hours that went into building those trails. What a job...you get up in the morning from your tent and climb several hundred yards up Halfdome and start busting and arranging multi-hundred pound rocks all day while standing on the edge a cliff and oh, did I mention, it's the year 1919...crazy!!
Thanks for the video, it looks exactly like it did in the early 70's and in the early 90's, brought back some great memories! Everyone should hike up half dome at least once in their life.
Crazy gorgeous is a good way to explain it. I loved seeing the little lizards way up on Half Dome, I could almost smell the air as you walked thru the woods, and the waterfall spray was great!
ive been quietly waiting for your next videos. ive been checking every day. cant wait for you to upload! best of luck to you for the rest of your trip! best of luck from Ohio!
Dude, my heart is racing just looking at that climb up half dome. Amazing. That is certainly no joke. And the scale... its kind of hard to even imagine. I love the lizards running around up there too. I bet going down is actually kind of scary?
A must see for sure. Quite a hike though. When that rock face dropped off like that... wow! As for most beautiful I prefer more trees but I can see your point. Thanks for sharing!
Yosemite my backyard great video, and you sir were on the JMT those last 6miles coming down from Half Dome Ive enjoyed every post of your PCT thru hike awesome job hermano......
Hi, Red Beard ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Totally, Awesome climb, amazing views I’m afraid of heights myself I got a little dizzy watching the video that was just sick and awesome climb up Half Dome I would have just froze and someone would have had to tie a rope around me to get me off that huge mountain 😎lol. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Danny
Following Redbeard 👍🏻 I was so hoping to see you and Daniel hike all the way to Canada 🇨🇦, but I know with all those fires that were burning it would have been to dangerous, also I enjoyed watching your AT hiking adventure journey I’m from Ga and I love the Smokey’s and hiking the trails in the National Parks. I will be looking forward to seeing more of your hiking adventures !!! Thanks Danny
Will I am really enjoying the vedios. When you are done with your walk about can you give your thoughts on the AT and PCT in a vedio recap? I am sure a lot of people will enjoy your view on the 2 trails.
QUESTION: What do you use to check your altitude and barometer ? What do most people hiking and backpacking use? What would you suggest for barometer, altitude, and temperature ?
***** Red Beard has commented that he would show that in a separate video once he has completed the PCT. That portion of the PCT is a large portion of the John Muir Trail.
Thank you so much for this video. The word "Gorgeous" do not do this gorge justice. Of all God's creations, this has to be one of the absolute best ones. gorgeous (adj.) c. 1500, "splendid, showy, sumptuously adorned" (of clothing), from Middle French gorgias "elegant, fashionable," of unknown origin; perhaps a special use of gorgias "necklace" (and thus "fond of or resembling jewelry"), from Old French gorge "throat," also "something adorning the throat" (see gorge (n.)). A connection to the Greek proper name Gorgias (supposedly in reference to a notorious sophist) also has been proposed. Related: Gorgeousness.
I just found your channel about a week ago and I've been watching your trek along the PCT. Did you stop posting videos for awhile? I've watched all of them all the way to Forrester Pass and then they seem to skip all the way to Cloud's Rest. That's a big chunk of trail that wasn't documented. What happened?
In the news Today (AUG 19) that someone from Georgia who recently visited Yosemite and nearby areas has gotten the plague. Uh oh. Has there been any recent updates from Will anywhere?
Redbeard is the best but there is Ken Lambdin who is doing a 2015 pct series of videos. His videos are ok. Also Joe Brewer is good he did pct last year and is currently doing cdt so you could watch all his from last year.
Thank you for your video on Half Dome** I have done this hike and it is no joke but worth the time and effort it takes to complete this hike. My brother and I are going to do Clouds Rest this spring and after seeing your video think it may be beyond my hiking abilities. The last part looks so scary! that peak and the narrow trail up looks terrifying how would you compare the two hikes? The cables at the last part of Half Dome provided some comfort and security so seeing that Clouds Rest is just a shear drop off with nothing to save you from falling to your death is just beyond for me. Any advise before I attempt this hike?
Joanie G they both aren’t too bad. Clouds Rest isn’t too scary if it’s dry. I just looked down at my feet when it got narrow. Half Dome is much more nerve wracking but the cables make it not too bad. Just get to Half Dome early before the crowds.
@@RedBeard0924 Thank you so much for your response I have done Half Dome and yes you need to go before the crowds for sure! Your video of Clouds Rest just made my hands sweat and my heart race! If you say It's not as bad as Half Dome I'm in. The granite is so slippery not wet so I can only imagine if the conditions were wet. We will be doing the hike late May so hopefully the weather will behave. Thank you again I am inspired by all the awesome hikes you have done keep it up. Happy Hiking...
jetpowered1 Ya, went up half-dome about 12 years ago. so... many... people... It was awful. Any scenery, view, or time in nature was completely eclipsed by the ocean of human detritus you had to wade through.
Another great video!! Your videos are so addicting. If you've enjoyed this video and want to help support red beard there are ways to do that. He doesn't promote it much(because he is awesome) but go hit up his website and donate....
5:05 that is one brave lizard!!
Holy moly, the view from the top of the Half Dome is incredible. Videos and pictures cannot possibly do it justice. You are a fortunate man to experience this, thank you for sharing with us.
Wow for sure. One of the most beautiful areas in America. Thanks for taking us along!
Breathtaking!! I can't help but think of the strength, bravery, and hours that went into building those trails.

This is the BEST HIKING VIDEO ever!!!!!
Seriously - you got so close to the edge of that cliff by the waterfall - I think you're trying to freak me out. Amazing hiking! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the video, it looks exactly like it did in the early 70's and in the early 90's, brought back some great memories! Everyone should hike up half dome at least once in their life.
Best video ever of HD hike! It took me three tries to finally make it. Soooooooooooo glad you captured it and how hard it is.
I like the waterfall in the beginning. Another great video from Red Beard!
Unreal. Love the lizard at 5:00. Amazing journey. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite so far. Half dome was amazing
Crazy gorgeous is a good way to explain it. I loved seeing the little lizards way up on Half Dome, I could almost smell the air as you walked thru the woods, and the waterfall spray was great!

Wow. What a climb, What a view. Keep up the good work.
Amazing, georgeous...no words can describe such beauty!! Absolutely jealous for you guys :) Thank you for sharing and happy trails :D

So cool to see you hike half dome! I'm caught up with all your videos. Looking forward to the next one.
I noticed a little lizard/skink at 5:00 ....He must be into the rock climbing thing as well ;)
Just unbelievable Red Beard! How's the jet boil mini mo stove been for you so far? Do you have a difficult time finding the fuel canisters?
-Andy
Beautiful country. Thanks for sharing
You beat the crowd. Good job! I have to attempt it again some day. Last time I was in Chaco sandles that were so slick I didn't trust them.
Absolutely stunning views.
Breathtaking ! You both have a real knack for filming and very brace walking up there Yosemite looks amazing thanks for taking us there !👍🏻🙂👌🏽
Sally Louise thanks Sally!
Great work! Thanks for sharing this. I will look forward to your future postings.
Yosemite my backyard great video, and you sir were on the JMT those last 6miles coming down from Half Dome Ive enjoyed every post of your PCT thru hike awesome job hermano......
Thanks for sharing this awesome video with us. Amazing views.
My heart is tingly man bro I’m so scared of height but I’ll do it thanks for posting
I always say just look down at feet. That helps me for sure.
Crazy climbing guys.
Hi, Red Beard ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Totally, Awesome climb, amazing views I’m afraid of heights myself I got a little dizzy watching the video that was just sick and awesome climb up Half Dome I would have just froze and someone would have had to tie a rope around me to get me off that huge mountain 😎lol.

Thanks Danny. Man it was a bit sketchy no doubt. I just always looked down at my feet. Totally worth it once I got to the top.

I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!
beautiful and amazing but my hands got sweaty, my knees got shakey, and my insides swirled around watching this one and all it's death drops.
Will
I am really enjoying the vedios.
When you are done with your walk about can you give your thoughts on the AT and PCT in a vedio recap?
I am sure a lot of people will enjoy your view on the 2 trails.
Great Video! Did you need a separate permit for the trail to Half Dome?
Great video again. I give you a like. Greetings from Germany. Enrique.
No stop at the cafeteria for beer and cheeseburgers?
QUESTION: What do you use to check your altitude and barometer ?
What do most people hiking and backpacking use?
What would you suggest for barometer, altitude, and temperature ?
The hike up Half Dome is unbelievable! Is there a bit of uneasiness going up?
How did you guys get a permit for the cables? We couldn't get one when we visited so did clouds rest instead. Great video like always!
Nice views from HD!
What happened to the videos from Kings Canyon to Yosemite?
***** Red Beard has commented that he would show that in a separate video once he has completed the PCT. That portion of the PCT is a large portion of the John Muir Trail.
looks very cool!
Hi Will!
I love your videos and so excited for you on the pct! Did you get a permit to go up to half dome??
Do you need a permit to climb half dome? Doing Cottonwood Pass to Echo Lake in mid August.
Wow , totally breathtaking! Thanks for sharing, truly one of God's finest creations.... HH
Thank you so much for this video.

Amazing TOTALLY AWESOME.
Hey Will. How many rainy days were there so far?
I just found your channel about a week ago and I've been watching your trek along the PCT. Did you stop posting videos for awhile? I've watched all of them all the way to Forrester Pass and then they seem to skip all the way to Cloud's Rest. That's a big chunk of trail that wasn't documented. What happened?
1400 miles of hiking to do in 2 months is what has happened. Too much footage to edit from trail. Sections skipped will be done upon completion.
Will Wood Very cool. I look forward to seeing them when you finish. Good luck and Happy trails.
Will Wood Thanks for taking the time to include all of us. You will get to it when you get to it. Hike on , never give up, never surrender!
Wow that was awesome experience ! :) Love it! Thumbs up from me! :)
wow dude I have never seen anyone show half dome before totally outrageous.
what camera are you filming with?
Yosemite is so beautiful
In the news Today (AUG 19) that someone from Georgia who recently visited Yosemite and nearby areas has gotten the plague. Uh oh. Has there been any recent updates from Will anywhere?
Are there any other 2015 pct vlogs out there?
Redbeard is the best but there is Ken Lambdin who is doing a 2015 pct series of videos. His videos are ok. Also Joe Brewer is good he did pct last year and is currently doing cdt so you could watch all his from last year.

Up and up and up..
Very beautiful!
But always lots of tourists.
jetpowered1 I have to agree , it is an awesome place. But the crowds have kept me away.
3nineteen Go in January, no crowds.
jetpowered1 Ya, went up half-dome about 12 years ago. so... many... people... It was awful. Any scenery, view, or time in nature was completely eclipsed by the ocean of human detritus you had to wade through.
Sean M So it was you that stepped in front of my photo opt.
Half Dome looks so NAR!
