On June 6, 2009, Gina Bartiromo hiked to the top of Yosemite's Half Dome under marginal weather conditions. She and a hiking partner got to the top, but on the way down, she fell about 150 ft outside the west side of the cables. She estimated she was tumbling at over 35 mph. She hit an upward facing slab of granite that stopped her instantly. In this video interview, Gina describes the horror of the day and her extensive recuperation. Mr Half Dome conducts the interview.
