Description

This is a small northwest facing outcropping that shoulders the trail to the Comic Book area and sits just east of Herman Rock. Dilbert Dome has climbs on two tiers. The lower tier is steep with a few crack climbs. The upper tier is slabby and knobby and has one climb which could be considered a sport climb.

Getting There

This is a small NW facing crag located in the Comic Book area. It is the second group of rocks you come to as you hike to the Comic Book Area from the paved road between the Echo and Barker Dam parking lot (The third group of rocks is Herman Rocks. Park at any one of three turnouts on the right (south) between Echo Tee Intersection and Barker Dam parking lot, that are near the hillside you hike in front of as you hike over to the Comic Book area. After about five minutes of hiking you will see Dilbert Dome and Herman Rocks to your left (east).
