A look down Pitch 3 of "Tree Route"

Nate Conroy enjoys outstanding jams and liebacking on the second pitch of "Tree Route."

Nathan Scherneck and Sheila Romane on the first pitch.

The tree is completely dead. No more green.

Marisa Fienup nears the top of P2 on the Tree Route.

Scott Perry of Santa Barbara leads the first pitch of Tree Route, at Dome Rock.

Sadly, the signature tree appears to be dead.

Doug Steigerwald belays at the start of P2 of Tree Route, at Dome Rock. Visible near the beautifully stacked climbing rope is the remains of the root system of the (namesake) incense cedar that used to mark the belay stance.

Marina Amador leading pitch 2 on her first trad lead. She did an awesome job leading all 4 pitches.

The fun Pitch 4.

Climber nearing top of Pitch 2.

The unmistakable, namesake trees, Dome Rock

Pitch 3 belay station. Don't use the middle bolt. It's loose!!!!!

Here is what remains of the incense cedar that used to mark the end of P1 of Tree Route, at Dome Rock.

They're gone!! The two small conifers that marked the end of pitch one have left the wall. The incense cedar was found lying at the base of the route. May they rest in peace.

Looking up the third pitch, or the second pitch if you do the route in two pitches.

Looking down the exquisite second pitch.
