Description
Okay, so it's on the highway and tons of tourists will gawk at you, but still, this is one of the most beautiful climbing settings anywhere. It rises about 500 feet right out of Lake Tenaya with beautiful views of the lake, Tenaya Peak, and many other Tuolumne features.
Getting There
It's the great big dome on the north side of the highway next to Tenaya Lake. Easy parking all along the base.
To descend all routes: head up and left (west) until you can descend 3rd and 4th class slabs near a steep headwall. Although it is steep in spots, this is walk-off descent, or scoot on your butt as needed, no shame. Rope up if you need to, but please DO NOT RAP OFF THE TREES - these trees have suffered a bit of damage over the years from ropes and slings and should not be used. Two sets of rap bolts have been installed. Each rap requires two ropes, or be prepared to unrope in between or build an anchor in the headwall crack and downlead. The first set of rap bolts is near the tree mentioned before. The second set of bolts is also near the headwall, tucked near a small alcove. See photo on this page. If you rap from the second set of bolts with a single rope, be prepared to pull your rope while on a 3rd/4th class slab with no anchor.
