A college student fell to her death in Yosemite National Park on July 13, underscoring the inherent risk associated with hiking one of America's most iconic rock formations.
Grace Rohloff, 20, an experienced hiker, was with her father Jonathan when the accident occurred. Rohloff tells San Francisco Gate that the pair had secured their permit to hike Half Dome only two days earlier and were excited to undertake the famous trail, which entails a 14-mile roundtrip hike using cables that are bolted into the rock to reach its 8,842ft summit.
