Actually, I don't do High Sierra hikes, at least not yet. Just joined out of 
interest on a possible thru. I do most of mine in the Utah or Texas area or 
the AT. From experience in the slick rock country you can use a hammock any 
place you can tie off. It can be rocks, trees, boulders, drop offs, or any 
combination there of. Tom Hennessy and I have even talked about two skis, 
snow bags, and a shallow depression of use in snow. Gonna play with that one 
this winter.

BTW we will be testing 6 of Hennessy Hammocks new Ultralite Backpacker 
hammocks (1.5 pounds complete) on BackpackingGearTest. Applications for 
testers will be taken from the listers starting next week. Start testing in 
about 2-3 weeks. The hammocks will be provided free by Hennessy and become 
property of the testers after completion of the required three reports.
