Trip: Leavenworth, WA - Dog Dome

 

Date: 6/16/2007

 

Trip Report:

Went in to Dog Dome on Sunday and spoke with the land owner for permission to cross his land. He was a friendly guy and had no issue. Please do the same if you are going and keep the peace with land owners and climbers.

 

The Dome's slab routes are fully mossed in except Canine Capers which is partially mossed in but we climbed it anyhow. I liked the sporty bolt placements which are more indicative of how a route would be put up on lead - although the SMC button head spinner as a first bolt inspires little confidence.

 

FYI - unfortunately unless someone get's there with a scrub brush the routes are shite. See the photo gearing up and all the moss behind on the route.

 

 

 

Gear Notes:

Approach Notes:

Whack your way thru the brush from Hook Creek Boulder heading down stream along the road and thru the private land owner's gates. If he is there do a courtesy call and drop him a bottle of something if you can. Then the road peters out and you can follow the faint trail to the rock dome and past that to the little creek that drains into the Icicle. Cross the creek and arrive at the slab are on the west side of Dog Dome.
