While Darrell and I set up camp, Emily and Jim climbed Half Dome. It is the first day of a 220-mile journey for them.

They hiked 7 miles and climbed 3,200 feet. And if you're not a numbers person, let me paint the picture: That's going from laying at the swimming pool in Curry Village and looking up at Yosemite Falls to being on a mountaintop looking across and down at Yosemite Falls.

Basically we climbed for 5 hours nonstop and then they threw in Half Dome because it was on the way.

They said it was pretty up there.
