Description 

Granite Dome to the east of Checkerboard Wall and overlooking the Jornada. It is an ill-defined dome, broken up into several short faces and large boulders. It affords excellent views of Checkerboard Wall but in itself is not much of a destination... yet. With a little development, this dome can offer some short approaches to a number of short routes of varying difficulties. Currently no trail exsists, but the scarmble up to it isn't that difficult. This dome offers the potential for a good short cragging experience that Checkerboard Wall doesn't offer.

Getting There 

Same parking and approach as Checkerboard Wall.
