Description
One of the recommended moderate routes on Dome Rock. A thoughtful traverse, OW/chimney, and face climbing complete the three pitches.
P1: Begin with the first few moves of Tobin's Dihedral, then traverse right along a horizontal finger crack. (Be sure to protect your second here!) Left Crack takes the first hand/finger crack up, while Arch Bitch-Up continues right around a no-hands step. Climb the outside face along the wide right crack, passing a fixed piton early and ending at a bolted anchor. 5.8
P2: Continue following the wide crack up, using wide pieces and slinging a few knobs until reaching a nice ledge. Continue up the flaring chimney and belay on a ledge with a large bush. (Optional variation: Traverse right before the chimney and face climb past a bolt, traversing back left above the chimney. Caution for rope drag.) 5.7
P3: Climb directly up the face, slinging a knob and clipping a bolt before reaching the large flake. Ascend the flake with a tricky dismount, then continue on the face past a bolted anchor. A significant runout on relatively easy face takes you to the anchor directly above. 5.8
Walk off left and up to the top of the dome.
