Half Dome with Sie – video from a climbing dad

Found this video by a climbing dad on SuperTopo who goes by the nickname of “micronut”.  The video is a trip report of when he took his teenage daughter hiking to the summit of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park.  I thought it was very sweet and nicely done.  The teen reminds me a lot of my own daughter, skinny, dark hair in a ponytail, confident, and a little impatient with mommy’s silliness, yet a fun companion just the same. I also like the dad’s camera-on-a-stick technique of filming. Interesting perspective, I’ll have to try that sometime.

Here’s the video on vimeo: Half Dome with Sie

Here’s the trip report by micronut on SuperTopo, if you’d like some more background information about his video.
