Description Suggest change

Start climbing the 'right' facing dihedral with easy moves and excellent protection (#1-3 Camalot).  Move up over a small lip (first crux) on smaller pro to stand on a huge flat knob.  Continue up the ever thinning crack/seam/corner on thin pro (offset cams helpful) and pass a bolt.  Continue along the arch until it thins out completely and becomes a lieback flake.  Step out left onto a couple of big knobs and clip a second bolt on a short vertical section.  Move up and surmount the lip (second crux) to lower angle terrain.  Pass a third bolt and traverse diagonally right on easy ground to the P1 anchor of Imperial March.

This is an awesome, varied route on clean rock.  While it is well protected by Tuolumne standards, it does require small cams and the ability to place them well.  

Location Suggest change

The prominent right facing dihedral/arch just left of Imperial March (left side of Dark Side Dome climbing).

Protection Suggest change

3 bolts, several offset cams in the blue/green to red/yellow Alien sizes, 1x ea. #.75 to #2 or #3 Camalot; ring anchor
