How to Train for Half Dome (Infinite Staircase!!)

Along the trail to Half Dome, you'll encounter the Mist Trail's 700+ steps and endless switchbacks. QUAD strength is essential. I don't know the official name of this machine, but it's like an endless staircase... the steps just keep coming at you. Only you can't stand still! And, unlike the machine, the staircases in Yosemite don't offer convenient handrails to support your body weight.

I this a joke and something scary is going to jump out after the first minute? WDT!!

@Cshaegoby you'll just have to watch the whole thing to find out!

yeah, it goes faster....this is level 8 of 20. i think it's about the pace we climb the Mist Trail, right? It's a great fat-burner... 400 calories in 30 minutes.  For the next video, I'll kick it up a few notches... should be more interesting to watch because i'm pretty sure i'll be falling off the bottom a lot!!
