Note that the annual closures of the Park View Dome, The Ranch Hand, Black Creek Wall, and Sawmill Crag have been permanently lifted. These cliffs will continue to be monitored, but will only close if a new nest is spotted.
Description
Climb slabby rock past horizontals that provide opportunities for good gear. Surmount a brief crux, and make your way to a large ledge with a giant plate sitting on it and belay. Per Bob Ruzich: this is the 2nd ledge (15 feet up from the first), and it should give you direct line of sight to the beginning of the wide crack avoiding rope drag. Move left and gain a low angle flake that forms a wide crack (large gear through #4 (optional #5) per Bob Ruzich). Belay on a small ledge (to the right) once you exit the crack. Climb an easy pitch to the top of the Meadow Dome.
Walk off by scrambling farther up the dome to a clear left turn down into the Tan Corridor, or per Bob Ruzich carefully to the anchors of Death in the Afternoon and do 4 raps with a 60m rope.
