Schmaltz Dome

California > Sierra Eastside > Lone Pine Area > Alabama Hills > Alabama Hills N… > Ghosts

Description

Schmaltz is the high dome on the ridge. There are cracks on either side of a beautiful face. More to come.

Getting There

Head to the highest, most obvious crag on the ridge. I'm not going to spoil your adventure with details. I'm soooooo sick of move by move descriptions and step by step approach descriptions. Can't anyone think for themselves?
