So not surprisingly I was just denied a permit to climb Half Dome via the lottery on either September 6th, 7th, or 8th. So what are the chances of finding a hiker with open spots on an approved permit I could piggyback on as I will be traveling North on the JMT and reaching Half Dome around these dates? Any other options? (At least I secured a permit to hike the northern portion of the JMT!)
