| Hiked up with the whole family. My daughter, not yet three at the time did some impressive steep scrambling off trail on the way up. She and I summitted nearby Quartz Mountain later that day after driving to roads end. | |

| One of my first "summits" and I was 10 years old. Even then, it was relatively easy. Hiked up the trail with my Dad and Sister, and took the easiest route. I can thank Fresno Dome for being one of the more prominant hikes I did as a kid to spark my interest in hiking. | |

| Great views and solitude, but the drive from Yosemite Valley was terrible (three hours round trip). | |

| Took my shoulder out for a test drive after 2 months of no technical climbing; seemed to do alright besides the fact that I am flabby and out of shape now! Fun climb except that slippery squeeze job and lichen in my eyes. | |

| mdostby | Route Climbed: Summit Trail Date Climbed: June 7th 2005 | |
| Just wanted something to do after work so I drove as far as the road would allow and hiked the rest. Snow has the road blocked about a mile and a half before the trail head. The north facing slope still has a bit of snow coverage but nothing serious. Not a sole around. | |

| Nate D | Route Climbed: Looking Glass Date Climbed: 1996 | |
| A somewhat anticlimactic trad route following a left facing corner. The 3rd (or 4th?) pitch, which is maybe Rowsby Woof?, looked exposed and cool from below, but was a simple crawl thru under the roof. Overall, the dome is great and has fine views, but heed the warnings about hikers tossing rocks! We later flailed a bit on Zipa-De-Do-Da. | |

| Part of the trail was covered in snow, but it wasn't hard to get to the top. Nice views in all directions! | ||

| While staying in Fresno I wanted to go check out Fresno Dome for future possable climbs. Drove up to the trailhead after work and ran/hiked up to the lofty summit. The static electricity in the air was causing my hiking poles to hum/buzz and I even was getting zapped when I touched the metal on the poles. I stayed on top only for a short second before running all the way back to my truck trying to beat the rain. | |

| Roger Hayashi and I did the route in 39 minutes (car-to-car). 4 pitches of enjoyable climbing (thanks Fred Beckey). The first pitch is possibly 5.8+ (see route gouge) for the first 50 feet then goes 5.6/5.7 for the remaining pitches. | |

| darinchadwick | Route Climbed: Muletrain, Watership Down. Date Climbed: summer 1995 | |
| We took some teenagers here for a rock climbing course when Toulomne had too much snow. We took them up Muletrain and Watership Down. We had a great time, and the group didn't bother anybody, because no one was there. A great break from the Yosemite crowds. | |
