Exfoliation Dome

[mattp]

Here's some of the goodness up there:

 

Rainman, 5.10c

 

 

Dark Rhythm, 5.10b

 

 

 

Jacob's Ladder, 5.11b (or 5.10b A-0)

 

 

West Buttress 5.9

 

 

These four routes are all about 8 pitches to the Blueberry Terrace, with a few more above that leading to the top of the Dome.

 

 

 

Lets do it.

Hi Matt, thanks for the photo-stoke. Dark Rhythm is a great route; I hope to lead the crux pitch some day soon! Coincidentally, I'm going up there tomorrow to do the West Buttress with MarkL; we hope the big flake is still attached. Cheers!

Last I heard, the route was OK. Too bad you won't be joining us on Wednesday! (See "partners" forum.)

The route was in great shape yesterday. The flakes moan when you climb them but if you can tune that out they are a lot of fun.

Mattp tearing up the 10c crux pitch on Dark Rhythm. This pitch is really fun with some wild sidepulling off the corner.

 

 

Rappin off the relentless 10b slab pitch on Rainman after getting spanked. I think this was pitch 4.

Wish I could join you guys on Wednesday.
