Description

The Gnome dome is a small rock (about 75 feet high) just off of Road 550. The climbing is on the west face so it sees afternoon sun and morning shade. All descents are walk offs to the climbers right.

There is quite a bit of lichen on the lower face and the rock quality in the cave area is a little dubious. Give the proximity to the road it appears that this rock gets very little traffic.

Getting There

Follow the directions to Buffalo Creek Area. Turn down road 550 and follow it for about 1.3 miles. There will be a parking area on your right. Park and start hiking east (downhill), with the total hike being about 400-500 yards. One can just make out the rock from the parking area.
