Description
Half Dome, which looks more like a quarter dome, is located 100 yards to the SE of Baldy and stands 80ft tall. There are about 7 lines, all going to the summit if you choose. Some crystal pulling, some routes have more clean finer grain granite, there is also some wind sculptured holds and a couple trad lines. Usually pretty quiet back here. Between these routes and the ones on Baldy there is enough for a full day. Well worth the 20 min approach.
