Description 

Split Dome is the large mass of rock adjacent to the Split Rocks parking area. It is divided by a conspicuous east-west gully. There are huge boulders that surround Split Dome proper and several of them have established routes (e.g. The Popsicle). Virtually all of the climbs require anchors and the descents are walkoffs.

Fun bolt protected and mixed climbs on south facing rock include Bike Across America (5.10c), Strip Search (5.10c), and Turtle Vein (5.8). A very good mixed route on the west face is Environment-Oil President (5.11a). An excellent overhanging crack on the east face is Cleared For Takeoff (5.11b).


Getting There 

Split Dome is easily seen from the Split Rocks parking area.
