Description Suggest change

The Meadow Dome offers a wide variety of climbing spread across an expansive area. The rock varies from vertical faces that provide cool temperatures in the hot summer months and slabby, south-facing walls that provide great opportunities for warm climbing on sunny days when the temperatures are cool.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the Climber Access Trail as described on the Staunton Rocks page. From there, the different sections of the dome from L->R are:

Tan Corridor

Permission Wall

Hemingway Wall

The Aerie

The Labyrinth

The Cascades Wall.

Per Adam bloc: use the new Dungeon approach.

From the Dungeon page: follow the Climber Access trail past the Permission Wall, and take the spur for the Tan Corridor/Dungeon. Hang a left at the first cliff you encounter, and follow that trail. Once you are at a obvious left switchback, stay right and follow cairn's to the base of the steep wall. The trail is well signed.
