Upper Falls Hike: Approaching the Verge: CELL

Good video showing the approach to the viewing area at the verge of Upper Yosemite Falls. Pretty narrow and essentially one-way at places, so you have to be careful. At about 1:14, it shows--on the right part of the frame--the railing attached to the rock as you descend to the viewing area.

Starting around 0:23, shows from a different angle the same thin path and railing attached to the rock alluded to in the previous video.

The view from Glacier Point might be slightly better, but this is pretty awesome. Notice the trail towards the right part of the frame at about 0:22.
