Often laden with snow in the early season, it is possible to otherwise drive to the top of the dome, and walk down and around to the base.



4x4 helps, but is not mandatory, at least some clearance is required. e.g. a Toyota Tacoma 2x2 can make it in most seasons after the snow melts.

"There is another way to access Herring Creek Dome from the top -- to go this way you would drive out to Pinecrest Peak but I am not familiar with this approach. Perhaps someone else can comment on this."







Due to a few steep and sandy sections, the road to Pinecrest Peak is best travelled in a 4WD vehicle. There is a nice small flat parking area near the summit.



Just below the Pinecrest Peak is the Red Herring Dihedral area, a short section of overhanging cliff visible from below. Two routes have been establisher here, Red Herring (5.8, clean pro) and Lakeview Arete (5.10a, bolted to chains). Both feature strenuous overhanging face climbing.



Nice page! Brutus

Sorry bro, but not even a 6x6 could make it to the top of Herring Creek Dome. *I* know you meant Pinecrest Peak, but those who haven't been there might get a bit confoozled.
