Description

Great route with small roof section before getting onto the slab. The crux is on the slabby friction climbing just after the roof.

Location

Just to the Right of "Last Rites" on ENE corner of Lost Dome. A single 60 m rope gets you to the ground from the belay rings.

Protection

Top Rope by climbing "Last Rites" to access anchors, or lead using quick draws being mind. Pull the roof going left to right. Once over the roof, start out on right side then cross to left side of bolt line just past the horn, horizontal crack feature.

[Hide Comment] The bolt is broken, not just a stolen hanger. From hearsay, it broke (sheared) during a leader fall. That was 2006, not sure of now. Jul 10, 2007

[Hide Comment] 10b? really?! i guess i really need to refine my slabby skils.

btw, a buddy of mine took a good whipper on that yesterday and came away with nothing but a pretty sore hip, elbow, and spirit. Oct 26, 2009
