Giant tree on Pywiak Dome
|
|
Every time I drive past Pywiak Dome I cant help but almost inadvertently drive off the road as I stare up at the giant tree mid way up the southern slope of the dome. Does anybody know a route or way to get to this tree? I feel like I need to see it up close and sit under its shade. This tree is just such a marvel. Any help on how to get there is greatly appreciated. |

Sure, just stroll up the flake system to the right of the tree. Can't be more than 5.2. |

Thanks Jan! Will check it out as soon as the pass opens! |

So you don’t get a little sandbagged, I think the flake system is listed as a 5.6. mountainproject.com/v/12102… |

Alex Maiorellawrote: I think the route you're referencing is quite a bit left of the tree. The description mentions that it joins Zee tree a few pitches up, and the tree is way around the dome from Zee Tree. |

Yeah, I don't think the route to the tree actually qualifies as a route. Pretty easy. If you look at the photo posted above, I have solo down climbed the flake system/lieback that starts up high to the left of the tree so walking up to the tree should be pretty easy. |
