Ngaphandle kokucaphuna ngokuqondile embhalweni nginikeze isifinyezo sokukhuphuka kwengxenye yegumbi.
Context:Ukuhamba ngezinyawo kweHalf Dome Cable Route kusuka phansi esigodini kuya phezulu kwedome ku-8.2 mi (13 km) (ngokusebenzisa i-Mist Trail), nge-4,800 ft (1,460 m) yokuzuza kokuphakama. Ubude nobunzima bale ndlela kwakuyenza ingaphithizeli njengayo yonke eminye imigwaqo esepaki, kodwa eminyakeni yamuva nje ithrafikhi yale ndlela iye yakhula yafinyelela kubantu abangaba ngu-800 ngosuku. Ukuhamba ngezinyawo kungenziwa kusukela phansi esigodini ngosuku olulodwa olude, kodwa abantu abaningi bayakuphazamisa ngokumisa ikamu ebusuku eLittle Yosemite Valley. Umzila ukhuphuka udlule iVernal Fall kanye neNevada Fall, bese uqhubeka ungene eLittle Yosemite Valley, bese uqhubekela enyakatho uye esisekelweni somugqa osenyakatho-mpumalanga yeHalf Dome uqobo.  Ukukhuphuka kokugcina okungamamitha angu - 120 kukhuphuka ngokucijile edwaleni phakathi kwezintambo ezimbili zensimbi ezisetshenziswa njengezibambo. Izintambo zifakwa amagoda edwaleni bese ziphakanyiswa ezinsikeni zensimbi ngasekupheleni kuka - May (izinsika azibophi izintambo). Izintambo ziyasuswa ezinsikeni ukuze zisetshenziswe ebusika ekuqaleni kuka-October, kodwa zisalokhu ziboshelwe edwaleni futhi zingasetshenziswa. I-National Park Service incoma ukuba ungakhuphuki lapho izintambo zisezansi noma lapho indawo edwaleni imanzi futhi ibushelelezi. Umzila weCable ubalwa njengekilasi 3, kuyilapho ubuso obufanayo kude nezintambo bubalwa njengekilasi 5.   I-Cable Route igcwala abantu ngezimpelasonto I-Cable Route ingase igcwale abantu. Eminyakeni edlule, abantu abangaba ngu - 1 000 babeqwala le nqaba ngempelasonto yasehlobo ngosuku, futhi abantu abangaba ngu - 50 000 beqwala unyaka ngamunye.  Kusukela ngo-2011, bonke abahamba ngezinyawo abahlose ukukhuphuka iCable Route manje kumelwe bathole izimvume ngaphambi kokungena epaki lapho izintambo ziphakeme phakathi kuka-May no-October. Izimvume zihlolwe umqaphi wezilwane emzileni, futhi akukho bahambi ngezinyawo abangenazo izimvume abavunyelwe ukuhamba ngezinyawo ngale kwesisekelo se-sub-dome noma ezansi kwezintambo. Abahambi ngezinyawo ababanjwa begwema abaqaphi ukuze bavakashele i-sub-dome noma i-dome enkulu ngaphandle kwemvume babhekene nenhlawulo efinyelela ku-$5,000 kanye/noma izinyanga eziyisithupha ejele.  Abagibeli abanezimvume ezifanele zasendle bangathola imvume yeHalf Dome lapho bethatha imvume yabo yasendle ngaphandle kokubhuka okwengeziwe okudingekayo. Abaqwali bamadwala abafinyelela phezulu eHalf Dome ngaphandle kokungena endaweni engaphansi kwe-dome bangehla eHalf Dome Trail ngaphandle kwemvume.  Isiqongo seHalf Dome siyindawo enkulu, eyisicaba lapho abagibeli bengakhululeka khona futhi bajabulele impumelelo yabo. Le ngqungquthela inikeza ukubukwa kwezindawo ezizungezile, kuhlanganise neLittle Yosemite Valley ne-Valley Floor. Indawo ephawulekayo ohlangothini olulodwa lweHalf Dome yi-"Diving Board", lapho u-Ansel Adams athatha khona isithombe sakhe i-Monolith, i-Face of Half Dome ngo-Ephreli 10, 1927. Ngokuvamile kudidaniswa ne-"Visor", isiqongo esincane esiphakeme esiqongweni, iDiving Board isegxotsheni leHalf Dome.  Kusukela ngo-1919 lapho izintambo zifakwa kwaze kwaba ngo-2011, kuye kwaba nokuwa okuyisikhombisa okubulalayo. Ukufa kwakamuva kwenzeka ngoSepthemba 5, 2019.  Ukushaywa umbani kungaba ingozi lapho useqophelweni noma useduze nalo. NgoJuly 27, 1985, abagibeli abahlanu bashaywa umbani, okwaholela ekufeni kwababili.  I-Cable Route yengezwa eNational Register of Historic Places ngo-2012.
Ukuhamba nge-half dome kungamamayela angu-8.2 ubude nokwenyuka kwamamitha angu-4800 ukuphakama. Lolu hambo lungaqedwa ngosuku olulodwa olude noma ngezinsuku ezimbili ngokumisa ikamu ubusuku bonke eLittle Yosemite Valley. Lolu hambo ludlula ezimpophomeni zaseVernal naseNevada, luqhubeke luye eLittle Yosemite Valley bese luya engxenyeni ye-dome ngokwayo. Amamitha angu-400 okugcina okwenyuka ahlanganisa ukukhuphuka okucijile edwaleni kusetshenziswa izintambo ezimbili zensimbi eziboshelwe ngamathuluzi edwaleni. Izintambo zibekwa phakathi kukaMeyi no-Okthoba futhi akunconywa ukuba ukhuphuke umzila lapho izintambo ziphansi ngoba ingaphezulu lingaba manzi futhi lishelele. Bonke abahamba ngezinyawo beya engxenyeni ye-dome kudingeka bathole izimvume ezihlolwa ngumqaphi emzileni. Abahambi ngezinyawo ababanjwa begwema abaqaphi ngaphandle kwemvume bahlawuliswa.
