> Plus, I think Half Dome has more deaths than Whitney. I can't remember where that notion comes from if someone told me or I read it somewhere, but if someone knows the numbers I'd love to see them.

Snacker: wink
Being here in "FresYes", any time someone is lost/hurt/missing in Yosemite, the local news jumps all over it. And myself being a heavy news reader, I can say with pretty good accuracy that Half Dome doesn't get the fatalities and injuries that Whitney does.

In fact, just in the past week, a teenager visiting from Israel was taking a selfie at the top of Nevada Falls, and slipped and went down to his death. That isn't a Half Dome fatality, but things like that are reported here whenever they happen, and it's really rare that I wouldn't see them.
