Half Dome Hike

The Berkeley half dome hike was an annual ward activity held at the beginning of each school year (late August or early September). Many fun times and sore muscles came as a result of this overnight trip, and every year, the majority of the hikers would retire halfway up the mountain, while 5-10 became part of that elite group that could say they had scaled the mighty half-dome of Yosemite park.

2011 Mt Diablo Trip
Due to permit restrictions, the half dome trips were cancelled, and a proxy hike up Mount Diablo was made. Though the hike was not as grueling, the trip was still memorable for the fireside games, Michael Mellerick's dutch-oven peach cobbler, and the fact that it was tarantula season.
