Description
This route is on the northwest face of Reggie Dome and climbs the prominent dike system immediately left of The Chief.
A bouldery start gains access to the "staircased" dike and a solitary bolt about 15' above the start. Higher, the dike dies out briefly and wild moves around a flake give access to the upper portion of the dike which ends at the same spot The Chief does.
There are two options for descending this route (and The Chief) - scrambling down an easy gully to the north or by rappelling from anchors (95' rap) atop the large slab just left of this route. A fun route that offers better protection than appearances might first suggest, this is a worthwhile route to do when in the vicinty. Two stars out of five.
