Like many people, I recently climbed the Regular NW Face of Half Dome in a day. We spent about ten hours on the rock and 16 hours Valley to Valley. Click this link for detailed pitch-by-pitch beta, and some general advice. I hope this is useful and encourages aspiring "in-a-day" climbers to go for it.

Wow exceptional TR/Guide to RNWF in a day. There are many ways to skin a cat but yours is solid and really well explained.
Awesome info!

I would just like to say that I used the technique described here for crossing Thank God Ledge (shuffled across on my right knee with left leg dangling). My partner (Hans Florine) was in stitches... "What the heck are you doing??"
So be prepared to be ridiculed! But it does feel pretty secure (if gumby-ish) crossing it that way.

The beta on the Robbins bolt ladder is spot on.
