Information on hiking half dome?

Question

My husband and i are talking about hiking half dome in the near future. Near future, meaning, 5-6 years. What are your suggestions on what to do to start preparing ourselves so that it will be easier on both of us in 5 or so years? I do realize that half dome is extremely steep and we live in Illinois..one of the flattest states. What could we do to "train" ?

Answer 1

Stair climbing about an hour a day is a good start.
