Description

The highest dome in the valley, from the top you are overlooking the island on Bowman Lake. Added three more top rope anchors (2017) and are now about 8 routes to do there. If anyone wants to bolt these for lead, go for it! Probably 4-6 bolt routes, if bolted. Excellent rock quality. More potential routes to do. Awesome location.

Getting There

Approach from the upper rock fill dam or from the concrete dam above Larry Land. It is between the two dams on the ridge above the island on the lake.
