Ok, I know this is a Whitney forum but I'll ask here anyways since it IS hiking related.
Having never hiked this before I have a few concerns...
my group and I have some permits to hike the cables of half dome for early june. The "problem" if you will, is that my fiance is unfortunately probably the only one in the group who will not be able to make the whole hike due to physical fitness ability. She wants to come as far as she can and then either wait for our return, (could be a LONG time as it is 16 miles total after all) or stop at some point and then turn around.
My apprehension is that if I go ahead and leave her behind, is the trail well traveled enough that she will not ever really be hiking alone? Are there sections that she could get turned around and get totally lost? Should I just suck it up and turn around with her and not make the whole trip?
What are your thoughts?
