I've not done Angels Landing at Zion, so I can't compare, but I can tell you that going up the cables up and over the back of Half Dome was quite something. I imagine it is a unique experience. What made it more challenging to me was that it was like an expressway going up and down. Crowded! Lots of people! I did not like that.

It is a VERY long day. We were out and back in about 10 hours. Those that know what they are doing leave the Valley floor by 6am or so and return in the afternoon. Lightning storms are a very real possiblity in summer afternoons and you don't want to be caught on the cables during a storm. Have fun.
