Description

Beautiful golden granite bouldering only a few minutes from the campground. Few crowds. Techy problems. Mixed sun and shade. Crank down here and then head over the hill to the more popular Puppy Boulders, or vice versa.

Getting There

From the campground, take the JMT east for a pleasant 5-10 minute walk towards Lyell Canyon, until you are directly across the river from Kitty Dome. Cross the river at some beautiful golden slabs, in late season the water is only a few inches deep. Head towards Kitty Dome, the boulders are scattered around the south face.
