Description Suggest change

Most of the established routes on this series of domes face the southwest and bask in the sun. They ascend sparsely bolted faces or wide cracks / chimneys on fair quality rock. However, Life Without Principle (11b), an exceptional steep slab / face climb (115') that is reasonably well protected with 9 bolts, is worth checking out.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the detailed directions to Disneyland Dome posted by Craig Clarence. The southwest faces of the Thrutcher Dome crags are across a boulder strewn gully.
