Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome (Summer 2007)
Shay and I decided that our main objective during our weeklong stay in Yosemite last summer would be the Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome. Since Shay had zero aid experience, I showed him how to aid and jumar on Lie Detector at Woodson… A couple laps up and down and I pronounced him ready for a bigwall.
We cruised the route according to plan:
Day 1
Hike up the Death Slabs, fill up water from the spring at the base, and fix the first three pitches.
Day 2
Blast up to Big Sandy, the bivy ledge at the top of the 17th pitch.
Day 3
Finish the rest of the route and run 8 miles down to the pizza deck!

The Robbins Traverse picture is classic!

Clearly the best TR on pullharder. Don’t be modest. Okay, fine, at least it has the coolest topo.
