And They Shall Know No Fear

internet says people take "10-12 hours" so we figured that meant 5-6 h and were proven correct. others might feel less comfortable passing a couple hundred people though.

nice to have someone willing to power walk the whole thing with me (or well, not *with* me - on the way down bro put 40 minutes into me by running the flat sections, he just got unluckier with the strava match. though note this the the *hiking* segment, FKT running is way faster than this). lots of painkillers and poles made it so i never felt anything in my tibia (though will almost certainly feel things tonight, just hopefully not tomorrow). lots of blisters though. cables were the highlight, think we hauled ourselves up and down them in less than 10 minutes each way (though i think the other people on the cables that were busy being scared out of their mind were maybe not that impressed...?). could see how they might be sketchy in the rain/wind, but wasn't really a concern. 

verdict though - yosemite is about what i expected? seeing El Capitan in person was dope (as was seeing the giant sequoias yesterday), but my extremely hot take is that i prefer the hikes in the bay area (the routes i design are harder and have no people...), and the views are better in Europe/NZ/Hawaii/etc. kind of feels like disneyland and the paved paths/concrete staircases kill the vibes for me. definitely closer to "b patisserie" than "Arisicault" imo
