Description:

This is an awesome mixed climb. The first pitch requires a lot of gear, mostly smallish stoppers and cams. The 11a crux is very well protected by a bolt but hard to onsight. The second pitch is also 11a and although there are 11 bolts, it is not a sport climb. You will still want a bit of gear and a bit of creativity and a bit of searching may be required. The third pitch is easy and gets you to the top of the Dome.
