This 3,000 foot high wall of granite is a favourite with rock climbers as there are dozens of climbing routes to the top, none of them easy. Half Dome is the park's best known rock sight. It looks like a hemisphere with a sheer cliff on one side. But from another vantage point, the rounded part also has sheer walls.
