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.

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.

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