Pitch 3 belay station. Don't use the middle bolt. It's loose!!!!!

Here is what remains of the incense cedar that used to mark the end of P1 of Tree Route, at Dome Rock.

They're gone!! The two small conifers that marked the end of pitch one have left the wall. The incense cedar was found lying at the base of the route. May they rest in peace.

Looking up the third pitch, or the second pitch if you do the route in two pitches.

Looking down the exquisite second pitch.
