Hiker's Death at Yosemite's Half Dome Sparks Safety Debate

Grace Rohloff's fatal fall prompts calls for improved safety measures on the iconic trail's cable system.

Grace Rohloff, 20, slipped and fell 200 feet while descending the Half Dome cables during a sudden storm.
Her father, Jonathan Rohloff, advocates for changes to the cable system to prevent future tragedies.
The current setup involves smooth granite and widely spaced wooden planks, which become hazardous when wet.
Yosemite officials have not yet commented on potential safety improvements for the popular hiking route.
Grace was an experienced hiker and a student at Arizona State University, known for her adventurous spirit.
