Climbing the cables on the way to the top of Halfdome in Yosemite can be a daunting experince. I normally do this 14 mile hike on the weekends when these cables on the final ascent can be very crowded. Recently I did it mid week, and the cables were relatively empty. This allowed me a great view of the cables themselves. This angle is close to the top where the slope in front of you isn’t as steep, but the roll off to the side makes you think twice about what you are doing.
