https://www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/college-student-death-half-dome-yosemite-19591633.php On July 13, during a heavy rainstorm in Yosemite National Park, an Arizona State University student slipped and fell to her death from the Half Dome cables. Park officials did not issue a statement about the death and declined to comment for this story. But Jonathan Rohloff — who was descending the cables with his 20-year-old daughter Grace when she slipped — confirmed that she did not survive. “Grace was such a beautiful soul,” he said in a phone interview with SFGATE. “She deserves to have her story told.” The father-daughter duo had hiked together countless times and over thousands of miles — up to Angels Landing in Zion National Park, down into the Grand Canyon and all over mountains across their home state of Arizona. So when Grace secured a permit to hike Half Dome through the daily lottery system on July 11, they were ecstatic. Grace Rohloff and her father Jonathan Rohloff pose for a photo on the day they hiked Half Dome. Courtesy of Jonathan Rohloff They cleared their schedules to drive from Phoenix to Yosemite the following day, and on the day after that, they set out on the strenuous 16-mile trail at about 8 a.m. A ranger told them there were storms in the forecast, and at times, they did notice clouds overhead. But when the pair reached the bottom of Half Dome’s famous cables a little after noon, the sky was perfectly clear, Rohloff said. They proceeded with other hikers up the 400-foot stretch of the trail supported by the cable system. When they arrived at the top, the panoramic views of Yosemite Valley and the High Sierra were outstanding. As Rohloff snapped photos of his daughter, he marveled at how beautiful and fearless she was. Grace told her father she was amazed to have climbed Half Dome — an item on her bucket list — and that she loved him. Moments later, an unsettling thunderclap boomed across the sky.

Krilt/Getty Images/iStockphoto “A black cloud was rolling in like gangbusters,” Rohloff said. “I was like, ‘We have got to get down now, because we don’t want to be up here with any rain. It rolled in literally out of nowhere.’” As experienced, athletic hikers, the father and daughter could have bounded down the rockface to avoid a descent in the rain, Rohloff said. But the people in front of them were proceeding slowly and cautiously and it seemed impolite to pass them, given the frightening circumstances. Soon, they were all trapped on the cables in a heavy rainstorm. The granite became incredibly slick, and the climbers in front of them started sliding around. Grace was in a new pair of hiking shoes that were supposed to offer good traction — but they didn’t. Grace Rohloff loved outdoor adventures. Courtesy of Jonathan Rohloff “Dad, my shoes are so slippery,” Rohloff remembered her saying. He tried to calm her nerves, saying, “OK, let’s do one step at a time.” He believed they were taking the necessary precautions. About three-quarters of the way down the cables, though, both of Grace’s feet went out from under her. “She just slid off to the side, right by me, down the mountain,” Rohloff said. “It happened so fast. I tried to reach my hand up, but she was already gone.” At that point, Rohloff descended the cables as fast as he could. Although his daughter had gone down a steep slope that looked about 200 to 300 feet, he had watched her come to a stop, and believed she might be alive. “I just wanted to get my daughter,” he said. At the bottom of the cables, he looked over the edge and realized that the mountain was too steep. He couldn’t reach her. He began yelling for someone to call 911, and people were staring at him, but not reacting, he said. So eventually Rohloff called 911 himself.

If you can hear my voice, give me a sign. I love you.” He dropped to his knees and prayed for a miracle, and a few people approached him, asking if they could pray, too. Erin McGlynn, a 22-year-old from Las Vegas, had just hiked up the trail with her mom to find Rohloff shouting to his daughter. “It was one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen,” McGlynn told SFGATE. “But it was also one of the bravest things I’ve ever seen. He was able to compose himself, just in case he could provide any comfort to her. He did everything he possibly could have.” Meanwhile, park ranger Shawna Daly was providing support to Rohloff, he said. She stayed by his side for three hours as they waited for a rescue helicopter and climbers to retrieve Grace, Rohloff said. She remained there even through the howling wind and pouring rain. At one point, it began to hail — first in pellets the size of peas, and later in pingpong ball-sized chunks, he said. FILE: The famous rock in Yosemite National Park. Powerfocusfotografie/Getty Images The ranger was there when Rohloff learned from rescuers that Grace had died, and she went with him on the hike down the mountain, without his daughter. “I know that’s her job, but [Daly] went way above and beyond to make a human connection with me,” he said. Later, when Rohloff spoke to a coroner, he learned that Grace sustained a severe head fracture and likely died during the fall. “That was at least comforting,” he said. “If she was gone, that she didn’t have to suffer.”
不觉得。 感觉就是个正常的 “difficult" 档次的 trail.
肯定不好爬。这次事故是因为在下大雨。
最后这段大概45度的陡坡，夏季才有cable支起来，会有更多普通游客来爬。长年累月下来这段的石头有点儿打滑，一定要穿防滑的鞋。戴园丁手套也是为了更好抓牢cable。这次出事的姑娘就是下雨后鞋底打滑摔下去的。下行比上行更吓人，好多人都是背朝下倒着走，我这种脸朝下的被他们认为是奇葩，但我觉得这样更好控制。
山里下雨一般都是下午。所以一定要早出发，争取上午到达cable陡坡。到的早cable上人也少更安全。这次出事的姑娘和她爸是早上8点才出发，有点儿晚了。

15mile5000尺虽然对很多有经验的登山者不是不可逾越的，但是对平时运动少的人来说还是比较艰难的。
平均上下需要10-12小时，而且有比较陡峭的坡度。对于非登山爱好者，或者平时没有锻炼的人来说，这个是相当大的挑战了。
这，以后鞋要更贵了。鞋厂得买额外得保险
顶部侧面有铁缆的就像走路，像三藩市有坡度的马路。
不过从谷底到铁缆开始的地方也要走两三个小时吧。
这个版上从正面上去的目测木有
楼主，你这个小马过河的问题可难回答啊。我知道每年都死人。不过比angels landing简单。
准备好手套，防滑，防晒，水即可。哪个带带，主要是保命用的，以防哪个不认识的从定顶上滚下来，带你一起去见阎王
这次下雨死的人是experienced hiker
这姑娘跟她爸一起爬的，连她爸都没拉住她
她是从边上滑下去的。。没有从人群中穿过。边上没有人拦着。
其实这个有个解决办法 就是上via ferrata 但是是不是很麻烦。走一段就要重新弄上。所以大部分人肯定都宁愿冒险 也不愿意麻烦。
有些地方坡度太大了，没有手抓住护栏是站不住的。而且出事的offtrail了，trail外的坡度更大，怪不到鞋上。
笑死，好不容易抽签抽到的permit被你浪费了
啥？比天使巅容易啊！天使巅我没问题，half dome完全不敢尝试。估计没休息好，去half dome住帐篷晚上睡不好
我看过有两父女用via ferrata牵在一起的，没有挂在铁缆上面。
其实有敬畏大自然的心，手离铁缆不远，没有那么容易掉下去的。
掉下去的都是高手和胆子大的。之前还有人为了捡他的iPhone掉下去了。
