    Description 

    Great sun, great routes. If you are looking for more difficult routes, this is the place to be.


    Getting There 

    From Sunset parking lot head out like you are headed to Crab Eyes. Cross a dry creek and head up onto a plateau. Keep angling right until you see a small trail going right just before you start to ascend to Crab Eyes. Follow this trail into into some thicker woods and follow this trail to the base of Lost Dome. (Disclaimer: these aren't great directions; you may want to look at one of the guidebooks.

    For A Rocker 5.8+  OK : Wichita Wildlife Refuge : ... : Lost Dome
    The crux is definitely the start. Its probably 5.10 face or 5.10 undercling / liebacks. Really not bad, just boulder problemy. Start about 8' right of the corner crack and move up left to gain the crack. Have someone spot you. You gain a great stance and can plug in 2 cams to start off the crack. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in OK

    If you get lost, climb up on top of Crab Eyes (easy 4th class north route) and look to the West. You'll see the huge walls of Lost dome several hundred yards away. Go to them and follow the trail back to get it all figured out. Good Luck!
