Description

The Halidome is so big that it is hard to describe, especially on its upper left reaches where access can be difficult. So far, the most direct lines being developed climb above an easily accessible, huge, sloping ledge that divides the right half of the crag horizontally into thirds. This ledge (The Catwalk) can be accessed by trail from the right. It tapers and ends at its left margin at a point about 200' off the ground. On an early trip across The Catwalk a climber was trapped when he looked back and saw a mountain lion strolling along the ledge blocking his return! At the left end of The Catwalk is a peculiar feature: A 50' tall balanced pillar stands about 15' away from the main wall. Resembling a carved stone head, it's been dubbed the Easter Island Head (EIH or the Head), and it is the best landmark from which to describe the routes on the main sector of the crag.
