By 21st-century standards, the row of threaded cables, steel posts and wood planks used by hikers to clamber up and down the final 400 feet of polished granite are dangerous - incredibly so in wet weather.
Not surprised it happened. Surprised it doesn't happen more frequently. The fact that 'only' 10 people have died falling from the cables since 1948 is nothing short of good fortune.
They can put in a system on the cables to make it so much safer. Grace would want that. What happened to Grace doesn't have to happen to anyone else.
The silence has been deafening. I told park rangers my daughter died 'because the cables are unnecessarily dangerous' but had not heard back regarding any planned improvements.
