Grace Rohloff, an Arizona State University student, was descending the cables on Half Dome with her father on July 13 when she slipped off, according to SFGate and the San Francisco Chronicle.
Rohloff's father, Jonathan Rohloff, told SFGate that he and his daughter had made their way to the peak of Half Dome when a storm suddenly hit. While trying to descend the precarious 400-foot cable section before rain made the granite peak slippery, Grace Rohloff lost her balance and tumbled down the mountain, the Chronicle reported.
"A black cloud was rolling in like gangbusters," Jonathan Rohloff told SFGate. "I was like, 'We have got to get down now, because we don’t want to be up here with any rain.' It rolled in literally out of nowhere."
