Description Suggest change

Your objective is to climb the splitter cracks on the right side of the dome's south face, and this route follows the easiest path (although not the most direct line) to the base of the cracks. Starting from the left (west) side of the Upper Dome's south face, traverse right, walking atop a large flake. Keep traversing right past the end of the flake, proceeding along an inobvious but easy line, to the base of the three cracks, which then lead to the top.
See the photo topo in the excellent online guide.

Location Suggest change

Starts under a triangular roof near the western side of the dome's south face. Walk off the back of the dome (with a slightly bouldery downclimb to get off the summit proper).

Protection Suggest change

Singles of nuts and cams, to 3". The traverse, while not difficult climbing, is sort of hard to protect for either the leader or the second. Gear anchor on top, with a bomber body stance behind the summit boulder.
