| Nice hike. The side trip out to Indian Rock is well worth it. Spectacular view of Half Dome. | |

| We did this as a warm-up for Half Dome the next day. The trail actually goes down in elevation and you must climb it on the return. The view of Half Dome from the top is one of the best. We hiked to Indian Arch on the way back. | |

| My partner Larry S. and I ran out of water near pitch six!! We now have a good idea of what the early sourdoughs felt like stumbling out of the desert gasping for a cup of water!! | |

| A very nice hike down to the summit of North Dome. Awesome view and few other people around. For us it was a nice leisurely follow-up to Whitney and Boundary Peak. | |

| Went up Yosemite Falls Trail at 6am with 6 friends. We spread out on the 3.2 mile trail up 2600'. We all met up at Yosemite Point. I continued on to North Dome while the others went back down to camp. I found the trail from Yosemite Point to North Dome to be more up and down than I expected. Beautiful hike through the woods. Saw a deer. When I got to North Dome, I tried to fly a kite that I brought so my kids in the valley below could see it, but there was absolutely no wind on North Dome this day. I tried for an hour to fly my kite but it just dropped listlessly to the ground. Disappointing. Oh well. Nice thing about being on Yosemite Point and North Dome is that you see the Valley from a side that only hikers and climbers get to see. Going back down the Yosemite Falls Trail is tricky. Good 16-mile hike round trip. | |

| Wanted a short hike on the way back to San Francisco from Mammoth. Couldn't have asked for a better day or better views of Half Dome and Clouds Rest. | |

| Climbed this gulley with a friend, hairy day. Got into some solidfied dirt that was just soft enough to kick edges in and climbed several hundred feet of this. My friend fell running down the Snowcreek Trail, nearly rolling over the edge of a big drop. | |

| Great day! We didn't start until 12:15, due to laziness in leaving Palo Alto. I had always wanted to do this as a dayhike. It's fairly challenging in terms of total elevation gained (~6000 ft.) and distance (something like 16 miles). Luckily our group (sister-in-law Rachel and friends Antoine and Jesse) moved fast and made it back to the trailhead just as headlamps became necessary (19:45). Wonderful warm day with clear air and no troublesome snow. More photos here | |

| More a downhill hike than a climb. Camped right on the dome for an excellent sunset/sunrise. | |

| An interesting route, especially the beginning of the 3rd pitch (traverse around to the shallow cracks). Climbed with Brad Rassler. | |

| Lots of fun corners and mantles. III, 5.8 is appropriate, and a little runouts in spots. I didn't think the North Dome Gully descent could get any worse. But we descended towards Mt Watkins and down, which although a straight shot into the gully, adds a load of bush scramling down slabs. Geesh.. | |

| July 28, 2002, Yosemite Falls trail: Dayhike up to Yosemite Falls, Eagle Peak, back around via North Dome and the Snow Creek trail. North Dome has perhaps the most spectacular view of Half Dome in the park. Great day, if a bit tiring for me at that time. July 16, 2006: After climbing Norman Clyde the day before, I was pretty beat and looking for something easier. Decided to hike out to North Dome from Hwy 120 on my way back to the Bay Area. Excellent views as always. | |

| after doing our first grade V, s.face washington column, we crashed in the manzanitas and climbed this one the next morning. not that great actually, unless you really, really like slabs, and lots of them. | |

| Bob Burd | Route Climbed: North Dome Gully (ascent) / Indian Canyon (descent) Date Climbed: Nov 2, 2002 | |
| Gotta love those climber descent routes. Class 3-4 route to the top of Washington Column, followed by more climber and animal trails plus bushwhacking around the west side of North Dome to the summit. The descent down Indian Canyon is another class 3-4 route (without climber trail) that gets you down to Ahwanee Meadow - much better than Yosemite Falls Trail! Trip Report. | |

| Fun hike, super views of Half Dome, and really interesting side-trip to Indian Rock, but scenery was slightly marred by smoke from mgmt. fires burning in northern Yosemite. Trip report and pics are here. | |

| 2nd time up this dome by the same route. This time was with a geography field methods class from UNR. The views of Half Dome from North Dome are unbelievable. | |

| Strolled out to N.Dome with bearbnz and our field class the day after doing Conness at night. Made great time, and ended up having to wait for an hour or so at each end for the class to show up. Sweet view of Half Dome. | |
