Typical sight at Point Dume...

View from the top approach showing the angle of the wall

The West face at Point Dume, route on the right side. 10a

Lead bolts do not fall on these...

the reward after a long hard day

Climb at your own risk

Go there on a weekday and you might just have the place to yourself... Jerry and I did! heh heh

The first bolt on the South face right side route(5.10b). It obviously is not very strong so I would not recommend leading that route

Valentine's Day 2016 @ Point Dume. It was a great day!

From 9-26-10

Covid protocols ongoing, now plus smokey air from state-wide wildfires (none nearby). Better air today. AQI of 50 in morning, steadily up to 62 by mid-day, despite look of typical nice Malibu beach day. Still, much better than inland areas.

Last climb of the day (I forget which route I was on)

There are a couple boulders in the area that you can climb, though the routes are pretty short and easy.

TR solo on a nice relaxing day away from the cold.

17MAY2015 There were some climbers there hogging up all the anchor bolts so two hours later I finally roped up on the other side of the cliff from a boulder and went. Was a little sketchy. I do not reccmmend it. But it's done. Endex.

The South Face.

One more shot of a lead bolt at Point Dume: as visible in this photo, most of the mass of the buttonhead has been eliminated by corrosion. There is very little material actually holding the hanger to the wall.

South Face looking north on a nice uncrowded day.

Rupa Hulet, enjoying the moves on the arete.

Locals get to park at the best spot inside the VIP area cordoned off by orange cones. All others have to park farther away, with the riffraff. Just the way it is.
