Met Matt and Sam (if I remember their name correctly?) at p2. They were celebrating "Dome's Day" by setting up portaledges on Lamb Dome and hauled 21 cans of beer and offered them to climbers. Asked for permission to post this photo, awesome guys!

I'm pretty sure that Phil Bard made this iconic image of Bachar third-classing On the Lamb.

nothing like running from a storm to help set the mood for on the lamb!

On The Lamb

A young mudfalcon Tuolumne inhabitant, sporting the latest in fashionable attire, makes his way across On the Lamb.

This is where the route starts!! At first belay into the jug dike. Pic is belayer looking R into start of route. Includes pics of dead wood, as in my description in comments. Cross slab and move down across knobs to meet the start of the juggy dike.

A pic looking up from the first belay into the jug dike. Green to my L is a bush. Green above is "biggest tree around", as in my description to find the start of the route.

Again, cleaning through the crux of On The Lamb.

This is the 3rd/4th class system that is the start of the first pitch. Would recommend turning off the trail to follow cairns instead of walking all the way around the left of the dome.

Looking back after leading the crux pitch. This section is short but steep and the feet disappear for around 15 feet. Awesome exposure and unique movement!

On the Lamb. The blue line runs just below the location of this line. The left dot is the location of the start of the first pitch. The second (right) dot is the approximate location of the first belay. The tree is a good reference point. Hope this is helpful.
