Ascent Notes for: Dominion - 5.10a Average Rating : 4.05/5

My crack climbing technique took a beating on this route. The lower wide part forced me to learn to fist jam. The upper crux I found easier. Then again I'm a weenie face climber. First 40' or so is pretty rotten.

Start up captain fingers for sustained 10a till you get to a beautiful traversing fingers crack that goes left into Dominion. It enters dominion about half way up the route and is invisible from the ground. Trust me its there... you'll see it if you climb dominion the standard way. This link cuts out the chossy/wide stuff on the low part of dominion and is full on Classic.

cool climb

Good route that I'll climb as a warmup everytime.

must get back and do it on lead- been recording climbs with no falls as "flashes" in the silly log thing

Good lead. The gear is all there, lots of different climbing techniques needed. Long route

Good pro, good fingers, nice, period

Fun climb. Has some interesting variety from hands to liebacks, fingers, etc. Pro is solid. Oh and you get to see Grand Illusion.

Climbs some easy fun stuff from the ground. Has some fingers, hands, fists, quite varied actually. The crux section at the top is a bit crumbly with some not so good gear selections (not runout though) A one move wonder crux for sure. The topout's kinda fun.
