About Grizzly Dome-Feather River Canyon:
There are many climbs in the Feather River Canyon area on Highway 70, just East of Chico. Grizzly Dome is the most popular area, with 25+ established routes, mostly bolted sport but some trad and mixed trad/bolted. Grades range from 5.6-5.12a. There are a few multi-pitch trad and bolted routes also. Primarily slab/face climbing. Approach is pretty difficult - depending on where you park you may have to walk up to 60 feet! |
