A little more perspective
This comparison selects the upper fall from its crest to its first impact basin. The 1,430-foot source height converts to 435.864 meters; the exact decimal is a unit conversion rather than survey precision.
The complete Yosemite Falls system includes an additional 675-foot middle cascade and 320-foot lower fall, giving 2,425 feet in total. Those lower sections are excluded from this upper-fall cutout and its calibrated height. The upper plunge supplies most of the whole system’s vertical drop.
