Description Suggest change

The East face of Stairway to Heaven Dome is found at the east side of the Main Area. The crux comes at end of pitch one, pinching small nipples on a steep face with very thin feet. The second pitch difficulties come after traversing left to the finishing dike: reachy and good holds.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts, supplemented by small pro for pitch one, and bolts for pitch two. Rap the route with a single 70m rope. The anchors at the very top need to be lowered a couple feet to make the pull easier.

Lisa leading pitch 2 while Jon belays on a cool windy day. The route is a clean dike, with steep cruxes and modern bolting unlike some of the original 1978 slab routes. The route was abandoned; we found and used some of the original bolts on the first pitch.
