Trail description

A climb to a soaring granite ridge in Yosemite with a knife edge summit higher than Half Dome. From Tenaya Lake the trail rises through forest to a final airy crest with a huge drop on both sides. The view down into Yosemite Valley and across the high country is one of the best in the park.
