Agree with this. I did Half Dome a few years back. The start of the hike was steep and all I could think was - "Did I make the right decision?" It settled down once we made it to the unpaved area. The part right before the cables was the worst though, due to the rocks you had to try and use at steps.
I am usually good with elevation until I hit around 10K, then I really feel it and slow down quite a bit.
this one is unpaved the entire way.
and yeah when we stopped for our first (of several) breaks we were both really questioning if why the hell we ever decided to try this.
the terrain was a lot rougher near the top, but was not much of an incline at that point, so it wasn't terrible. Except we were already freaking exhausted.
