Hiker visiting from Japan falls to his death scaling Half Dome
A 37-year-old man died Saturday afternoon while hiking Half Dome in Yosemite National Park with four friends, a park spokeswoman said. Hirofumi Nohara of Japan fell about 300 feet to his death while hiking a section of the rock that is equipped with cables, spokeswoman Adrienne Freeman said Sunday. It’s not clear why or how Nohara fell, Freeman said. Freeman said Nohara, who was in the United States on a work visa, was about two-thirds of the way up the cables, which line the last 400 feet to the summit. (FresnoBee – 6/18/07)
