Dome and a Wolverine
A great climb with my friends Steve, Chris, and Gary. Got stuck in the woods for a couple days waiting out rain then moved up to scenic Ipswoot Ridge and a fun climb. Saw a wolverine running across the snow the morning of the summit climb! Lost the way briefly heading out through the green hell slide alder jungle but regained it shortly.

Standard route
On first glance that final hundred foot traverse is quite intimidating. But thanks to my friends and a rope, got across. The first guy across who set the rope for the rest of us, is 68 years old! I hope to grow up like him someday.

Cool summit
With Ron. Tough approach up Downey/Bachelor Creeks with the bushwhacks. Legs cramping in the heat. Camped in the meadows above Cub and Ipswoot Lakes. First ones on the summit day two (barely). Great snow ridge along the summit, into the moat and up to the summit via a 4th class move. I was too beat to try for Sinister. Hiked out much faster (except for the bushwhack sections) day three. Amazing weather and a great mountain I've been wanting to climb for years.

Dome Peak
Bachelor creek trail to Cub Lake area camp. Summited next day, was planning to go north on traverse but glaciers were out of shape.

Dome Summit
New road up the Suiattle River shortens trip. We made it just short of Itswoot Ridge above Cub Lake from car. Still a bash up Bachelor Creek. Summit day two, back to car day three. Perfect weather, beautiful place.

Bachelor Creek
with Fletcher and Rob. 3 days no tent lots of bugs nasty brush and easy glacier. My first lead on an alpine pitch. Really awesome mountain worth visiting again... just not when it's sooo damn hot.
There's a well-flagged trail up Bachelor Creek, but it's still a fairly hellish 'schwack. I had contemplated doing Spire and/or Sinister as well, but between the heat, a late start, and Canada being on fire, I settled for just Dome. I have been wanting to do it for awhile, and with the Suiattle River road open again, it is once more a long but feasible dayhike (13h45 with most of an hour on the summit). Trip report.
New 2-pitch 5.10 start to the SW summit with Bill Lucia. Traverse from SW summit to true summit (with the exception of the 4th-easy 5th dirt traverse) a great finish! What a pain-in-the-ass to get to, but the payoff is tremendous too... Hiked the 5 or 10 minutes from our bivy spot to the true summit 9/9. What a trip!

Great 4 day Trip!
Also climbed Spire Point after which was a good bonus. The summit ending had one spot that made me feel uncomfortable in plastics but managed with a nice belay across it. Not needed, but certainly nice.

Dome and Spire
Summited Dome with gimpilator and co. and then climbed the south face of the east peak (higher of the two) of Spire Point. Both amazing summits on excellent rock. Hoping to return for Sinister and the southwest summit of Dome.
For my 30th birthday we decided to climb something special. This peak is a long way from anywhere but well worth the effort. A large bergschrund at the top of the Chikamin Glacier prevented us from getting nearby Sinister peak.

Dome Glacier
Climbed from a dry camp on Itswoot Ridge. Snow all the way to the final exposed arete. Aesthetic climb.

Route Climbed: Date Climbed: August 2007
Traversed below (but much to my dismay did not summit) Dome Peak on a NOLS Outdoor Educator course. Approached from the south by way of Glacier Peak (which WAS summited), Buck Creek Pass, Image and Canyon Lakes, and Ross Pass, Totem Pass, then onto the east Chikamin Glacier from a pass just south of Blue Mountain. In consideration of low food stores, the average experience level of our two rope teams, and three days to get out to Mineral Park, we agreed with our instructors that it was not within our best judgment to spend much of the day summiting Dome or any of the surrounding peaks. But I will be back. Soon.

Perfect End
Great way to end the Ptarmigan Traverse. Was great sitting at White Rocks for a few days looking out at the dripping glaciers below Dome Peak, then wake up the next morning and pick your way to the summit. I great summit in an outstanding area.
Route Climbed: Dome Glacier Date Climbed: August 8, 2003
If you survive the pack-in it's a great climb. Camped at Cub Lake. Fourteen hour summit day. Put in a handline on 200 feet of the airy summit ridge. Major league exposure!
Route Climbed: Standard to Northeast summit Date Climbed: August 19, 2001
Dome is downright intimidating when viewed from the White Rock Lakes across the Agnes Creek drainage to the North. We approached via the Ptarmigan Traverse and nearly got one of our 4 members plucked off the Dana Glacier by a small ice/rock fall. Had amazing views of the forest fire plumes in the setting sun the night before at Beckey's recommended 6400' camp, got a break in the clouds, and thoroughly enjoyed the climb on the heels of a party of 6 friendly fellows. Thanks to them for approaching via Batchelor Creek which was truly grueling, but made tolerable by their many boots trampling down the brush twice before we struggled through.
