Description Suggest change

Huge dome with some moderate multipitch climbing. The Dome is easily identified by the large double roof system on the south face(approximately perpindicular to the trail). The west/southwest face is a chickenhead dotted 4th/5th class slab that can be easily soloed to get down from the top. An easier but longer walkoff may exist to the northwest.

Getting There Suggest change

About 1/2 to 3/4 the way to the Rockfellow group off of the right(north/east) side of the main trail. Once you are almost below the large double roof system, just walk across the slab to the base of the southeast side of the dome.

DESCENT:
The fastest descent off Waterfall Dome is via the cairned walkoff to the west/southwest.
