I've done this climb before and at the top had my first ever panic attack and made my way down this very route in anxiety attack mode. People have fallen off Half Dome from this ladder so it's nothing to take lightly even on a good day. I can only imagine how uncomfortable it would be to be making this descent while watching a forest fire (Meadow Fire) approach in blow-up mode (on 9/07/14) with helicopter evacuations about to take place up top where one has just left (about 40 hikers were lifted out).
