A Sea of Slab

Cooper at the helm navigating this runout sea of smooth, slabby granite. Somewhere on the second half of the route. October, 2022.

Dave Rone stepping off the dike at the start of the 3rd pitch.

Pitch 4 - Spectacular slab climbing!

Pitch 6, 5.10a. The slab keeps going and going . . .

Fred finishing. Pretty good views for the belayer to enjoy while yarding on the rope

Vic finishing last pitch...maybe '87...does this qualify as a "historical photo"?

On Gaia, if you zoom in on satellite view, you can see a path for North Dome Gully descent, and a way to the regular start. The pin is where we cut into direct start
