Ascents in Polly Dome having Beta

25 m Runout on second pitch.

Climbed second time

Alt lead with dave.the descent was scarier than the run out route

It's a mixed climb with bolts at the bottom to protect the slimmer slab moves. The climb becomes quite runout as you progress upward. It is in your best interest to bring a small rack and place gear whenever you can. I think brought .5-#1 C4's and maybe a set of stoppers. Great introduction to the slabby knob laden granite of Tuolumne.

First route of the trip. Hello runouts! This route offers a great introduction to the ethics and style of Tuolumne routes. Bring a small rack to tame the runouts at the top.

Favorite climb on the bunny slopes. Crux is at the start with some thin edging and smearing up to the second bolt. Have a good spotter/attentive belayer. A fall before the first bolt is potentially nasty due to the v-shaped ground.

Bring a small rack to protect the left facing crack/layback. There's an easily overlooked bolt right after you exit the crack ( I missed it). So keep those eyes open! Or you're in store for a pretty big runout.

Listed on Mountain Project as 121 Mtrs and 4 pitches which is how I climbed it

With Laura. Awesome route. Nice laybacking and slab climbing on upper pitches. The slab descent sucks though. We left a nut and rapped off it rather than commit to the slippery wet death slab.

First route in Tuolumne.

gripping runout

Unique experience squirming under a massive block resting on the slope

P1 only

A short, but a VERY fun 5.8 mixed with face and lieback climbing

Very nice trad route.

Very nice climb. Need BIG pro to protect crack, otherwise 100+ feet run out. Even so, it is not difficult.

My first route in Tuolumne, 2nd pitch looked polished but did not feel slippery - awkward to place gear tho. 5th pitch is a low angle slab walk to the summit. Fun route with nice views of the lake.

Simul-climb / running !

Wild.

scary!

don't remember a lot about this one, except that it was runout in sections!

Got hit with afternoon thunderstorm showers while on the 3rd/4th class approach to the climb stuck in hiking books! Still think the climb was fun though!

from what i remember, this was an awesome climb...The upper pitch(es) as i remember it seemed a little runout over relatively easy face/slab climbing

Super fun climb with a bit of everything.

with guide. very easy for a 5.8

70m rope will get you to the top of the flake (linking P1 & P2). SS.

Excellent climb, at times it is almost the equivalent of a squeeze chimney

Led P2 to the intermediate anchor and rapped to avoid storms. Just plain fun, and hilarious to watch my much larger climbing partner squeeze under the flake.

Slid 2 feet at one point before my feet found new purchase on the slab. Would have been an exciting lead, to say the least.

Set up a top rope. Struggled, bled, and gave up. My partner had better success.

Super fun heel hooks.

with Laura. Led P1 & P2. Good fun knob hauling, but Laura decided she prefers cracks. Plugged enough gear that it didn't seem as runout as supertopo suggested. Purple link cam for the win!

with Jadian. Good fun!

with Jadian. Pulled the roof in a couple of different ways, but never bothered finishing the rest of the route. Good fun!

good primer on T runout slabs. Essential 'reading' for newbies!

challenging exposure, merge to runout slab at top

took a lip on the last hard move! One of the best pitches I've done!!

Hahahahaha classic visiting climbers, we got spooked at the slab with no topo and no gear so we downclimbed the first couple pitches and went home! Apparently we are too chicken for 5.5 slab!

led P4

Awesome splitter to super run out slab. Fourth pitch is 5.2 X!

P3 is 5.7, P4 is 5.8. Great fun!

wonderfull

fun bulge with tiny chicken heads

Great training Run

top 3 cracks ive ever climbed, simply wonderful.

was happy to do it once but would probably skip it next visit
