Description

This is long, short slab located between Down Under and the Plateau Boulders in the Redrock/Mt. Hardy area of Gloucester. The northern end looks like Half Dome in Yosemite. The end of the slab was actually quarried. The missing chunk of dome is laying nearby.

It is modest, unassuming slab with one excellent boulder problem and a few other easy problems. The close to other areas it feels a little off the beaten track.

There a couple of small boulders nearby that have easy problems on them.

Getting There

Head to Down Under, and head up the path through the cleft that divides the main wall (with No Pro) and the buttress with Doug's Roof. The first long slab you meet at the top is actually the Half Dome Slab. Follow the path past a tree that is growing horizontally along the ground until the slab ends.
