The cables really aren't that necessary, at least in dry weather. (The top
of half dome isn't the first place I would head during a thunderstorm.) I've
seen young women wearing flip-flops and carrying a cake headed up to half
dome. The trail can handle very heavy use. The worst damage would be by the
relatively large number of people camping in Little Yosemite Valley.

That's an interesting looking climb.
But I don't know why NP has provided such a system. It means that more
people can get to the top and make a mess; and some of the people who do use
it don't appreciate the environment because so leave gloves behind.
