Ahh. If you’re not in that great of shape, it’s alright, you can do it, but it’s going to be difficult. You see, I was with a group when I went, and the instructor made us go all the way, with only one break. I think it was easier for me and my legs that way, because it made the hike up seem faster.

As for the the cable part, I didn’t do it. My instructor said we had to go the other way around, to Glacier Point. So I could say for the hike down, if you do it, just trust your shoes and make sure you have a steady grip on the ground or a friend. :)
