Description
Doug and I climbed this in threatening weather. Exiting from the dihedral was a flake of rock that was a perfect handhold to help pull you out. When exiting, I pulled on that flake and it came off (I have some before/during/after pics of the FA). I don't believe that it was climbed prior to our ascent as this flake would obviously have been touched prior, had the route been climbed. Thus I dispute the "Answer" FA claim. If the "Answer" team can show me photos of that flake there during their ascent...I'll acquiesce and accept their claimed FA and name.
And as a historical sidenote, it was my name that stuck to this formation and have always thought it one of the better names I came up with. I only wish it was a better "dome." Haha.
We climbed "Storm Riders" to explore elements of the formation for other ascents and walked off to the west.
