Didn't have to sign up. We camped in Yosemite and did it all in one day no base camp. We left early and got back at 10pm which was insane last part from one of the waterfalls down was by flashlight.

One of my memories was a guy sitting next to box at foot of half dome with leather gloves because you had to hold onto metal bars. It wasn't like it is now where you can walk or have railings on side. It was very scary with bars going up and you had to hold on for dear life when people came down same bars. It was like looking down a mile to if you fell.

But on top I sang that song I am on top of the world looking down on creation.
