Java Dome is home to a decent selection of lower-end difficulty, slab routes on its south face. These routes are basically bolt-protected. The rock quality on this south face is fairly good. There are a few routes on the west face as well which require traditional pro. Fortunately, there are rarely crowds here. Enjoy.

Getting There
From Denver, go W on US Hwy 285, go S (L) on Foxton Rd, this T's at the South Platte River, head E (L) to South Platte, then it curves S, go 3 mi. There is a prominent large boulder across the South Platte River just N of the parking area. Park where legal. 2 drainages can be hiked up. The N one has Atlantis slab a short way up. Choose the S drainage. Hike 20 min or so. The obvious dome here with a handful of bolted slabs is Java Dome.
