QuailBSTourist/ Summit trail  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Jul 14, 1999

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.

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 DRoute Climbed: Looking Glass Date Climbed: 1996  Sucess!

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.

Etsuko and I climbed this great route on the way back from Yosemite. Great backcountry climbing! Not a body in the vicinity.

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.

I climbed this 4 pitch route with Jeff Brennen. The second pitch was classic.

Dave DalyRoute Climbed: South Pillar Date Climbed: June 27th 2002  Sucess!

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.

darinchadwickRoute Climbed: Muletrain, Watership Down. Date Climbed: summer 1995  Sucess!

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.
