Description

This is the prominent dome 3/10 of a mile east of the Tuolumne Meadows Store.
It offers good climbing and easy access.
The West Face is a short walk from the parking lot. "The Water Cracks", "Werner's Wiggle", "Truckin' Drive" and "Rawl Drive" are a few good routes on this face.
The Northwest Face has longer routes and the classic "Crying Time Again".
The East Face is a longer walk to a number of short, poorly protected routes and top ropes.

Getting There

Park in the lot at the base of the West Face.

Featured Route For Lembert Dome

Crying Time Again 5.9+ CA : Yosemite National Park : ... : Lembert Dome-Northwest Face

Awesome moderate knob pulling. Even though this climb has bolts I would not consider it a sport climb. The bolts can be almost impossible to see at times even if they are five feet in front of you. The last pitch has several different options. 5.9 R or 10a safely bolted. ...[more] Browse More Classics in CA
