Little Dome Climbing

Little Dome (also known as Little Rock on many maps) is the smaller of the two prominent domes at Enchanted Rock. It sits to the southwest of the Main Dome, and rises up behind the campsites on the north side of the park road. There is very little climbing on the actual dome itself - most of the climbing areas are scattered boulders that sit either on the dome itself, or slightly off the dome along the Loop Trail. Consequently, Little Dome sees a lot less traffic than its larger neighbor. Climbing areas include the Kingdom of Zilch located on the dome behind the camp sites; the Carnivore, Loop, and Lizardhead Boulders located just west of the dome; Shuttle Rocks (Morning Veranda) on the west side of the dome; and the Sopwhip Boulders and the Frog on the east side of the dome in Echo Canyon. The routes are all short, single pitch lines. Most are trad, with an occasional difficult bolted line. Some of these routes are among the most difficult in the park.
