I have a goal in life - hallah-freakin-lluah!!
Top out on every dome and peak in Tuolumne. Not so much about what I climb, although that will certainly have something to do with it - but to get to the top of 'em.
There are a few that are far above my pay-grade (>10b) so I would like to think I could hike up the descent (and maybe pack some chocolate for the burly climbers coming down). :thumbup:
I've already ticked off DAFF and Pywiak - both fun and stunning!
So...for this weekend, of the few I have in mind, I'd love to hear what you would prioritize/recommend:
Northwest Books or North Face - Lembert Dome
West Country - Stately Pleasure Dome (although I must admit the descent on this one spooks me)
Shagadelic - Medlicott Dome
Cowboy Marmot - Marmot Dome
Isostacy - Dozier
So many domes, so few days!
-
NW Books might be chilly but I sure like it.
Stately descent is easy walk off the back side. You don’t have to go the slab way.
It probably snowed last night.
-
What?? Ratz.
Crud. I got spoiled with perfect temps and skies (when the smoke cleared) this season.
Thanks!! Happy to hear about Stately.
-
Dang - Saturday's crummy up there.
Looks like I may have to switch to a Valley Hit List...
Gotta make one first.
After Six is the only one so far.
-
What about pothole dome?
-
Our goals bzck then were more simple....don't pass out in the campground and climb 5.9’s.
Put great white book on the list!!! And South Crake.
Brings back find memories!!

The good ol' days. :)

Yes!
How about Puppy Dome
-
Puppy Dome, that was where we learned to lead....nice 5.8 there.
Oh, and if by chance you decide to do the Yawn, don't leave your partner on the last pitch.....
-
Oh, don't leave your partner on the last pitch.....
Works for me
-
North Face of Fairview Dome.
Cathedral Peak by any route, sans lightning.
-
Then there is Marmot Dome.....amazing routes.
-
Is it dog or Puppy Dome that has a cool 5.8? It's near the Lodge perking lot.
-
I thought one had a 5.8 and the other had a 5.9 but I would have to look at a guidebook.
-
Yes Clink....my brother and I learned to place gear on that crack.
Has to be 5.8 if it was my 1st gear lead.
The next day was Great White book......because it went to the top!

It's great, though I advise doing the upper section in two short pitches rather than one, Brit style.
West Country - Stately Pleasure Dome (although I must admit the descent on this one spooks me)
This is very runout - a bolt or two at most for the leader. I rappel the upper part and belay partners through the middle section. There's also a climber's trail off the back that takes about fifteen minutes to get you to the road.
Shagadelic - Medlicott Dome
Cowboy Marmot - Marmot Dome
I've had a great time on Marmot, but I don't recall exactly what or where.
Isostacy - Dozier
So many domes, so few days!
-
Then there is Marmot Dome.....amazing routes.
On my list - for this weekend!
-
Be careful, the approach is long and the altitude is high.
-
Aw - I suspected you were pulling my leg! :P

Aw - I suspected you were pulling my leg!
Little me? Lie....yup pretty much.
Enjoy them domes!!!

I went a long way on my Tuolumne ticklist on Tuesday, Thursday and over the weekend (Tuolumne County in my case). Trying to wrap things up before the snow flies in the high county I got 21 routes done that were new to me that I wanted to get documented and on the new routes list. Up to 5.10b.
Maybe more to do this coming weekend (document Climberdude's new stuff on Aretha Franklin Crag and nearby?). The weather's been fantastic (and the home cooking at my house - as always - has been the same).

Wow! I just updated my journal. My route count on Sonora Pass highway is at 998. I think I'll go over 1,000 this coming weekend (if I live that long; Crux may kill me for highjacking her thread).
I hereby beg that J.C., K.C., Munge, Briham, Whitney, and Climberdude come up on Saturday to go out to Mark's routes and help me get to 1,000. Pleeeaaase?! And bump up your own SPH route counts while you're at it. Crux, although you haven't been coming up to SPH as much as to the real Tuolumne, any interest in joining us on some uncrowded, wonderful climbs (5.6 to 5.10)?
Damn I've been doing this shit for a long time.
-
We are awaiting her update....Marmot dome is serious business...so damn polished.
After 1,000, does that mean you can climb elsewhere?
I was told of a valley of sorts south of Sonora. Supposedly it has a few routes there.
Mungie told me about it.
:o
-
I may have to stay in Sj. Actually really thinking about Yosemite right now and had plans for SoYo.
Is there a per diem for going to SPH? ;)
-
Well Mungie, if you are around.....up for a beer??
-
But I already know you don't have any! ;D
-
That can be fixed.
Although I have a ton of wine and getting more.
-

Ah! Nothing to report really.
We did top out on Dog and Lembert Domes but from going up the walk offs. :)
We were hiking around to find the more scenic route to Dog and ended up hiking up between them without knowing it.
So glad we lugged the climbing gear. ::)
But it never sucks to be amongst the granite. So beautiful!
We also hike up Murphy Creek and found the crag at Polly dome with a bunch of single pitch and TR stuff for another time.
Marmot found it's way to the bottom of my list, thank you very much.
-
Dog dome...now I remember we bailed on that one...in 90.
We learned on puppy dome...
Go to cottage dome...Hardiish 10’s but you will be stoked to crank them.
Another area is alimony cracks on daff.
Fun area. Great circle is fun.
-
Murphy Creek is good.
-
Alimony Cracks is a cool spot.
I need to do Regular on Fairview. Sigh.
-
My rates are good..
-
My rates are good..
Your shoulder would be better.
-

You mean "again", right??
-
Your shoulder would be better.
Next season! Now that both shoulders are +A.
:thumbup:
I love that route!
Also recommend Great Pumpkin on Fairview.....
-
Almost getting ill and a fist fight at same on pitch 1 doesn’t count.
-
Yeah, best to start at 11am, once the barney's are up the route.
Then it's the 1st to muscle through. After that it's pretty easy and goes fast.
