Yosemite hiker slips on cables in Half Dome and falls to death during storm

A tragic accident occurred on July 13 when 20-year-old Grace Rohloff fell to her death while descending Yosemite’s Half Dome.

Grace, an Arizona college student, was hiking with her father, Jonathan Rohloff, as part of a bucket list adventure.

They were descending the cables at the summit when Grace slipped on a slick section of rock and fell down the mountain.

The hike to Half Dome, a challenging 14- to 16-mile round trip, requires permits and is known for its difficulty.

Jonathan Rohloff recounted their final moments at the summit, describing a sudden storm and the rapid loss of footing that led to Grace’s fall.

Rescue efforts, which involved a helicopter, took three hours in harsh weather conditions. Grace sustained a severe head injury and was pronounced dead at the scene, The Guardian has reported.
