| bearbnz | Route Climbed: Lunar Leap Date Climbed: Summer 1991 | |
| One of the slab routes in Tuolumne that isn't too run out, but the bolts are rusty quarter-inchers, and the hangars are homemade, with a mix of aluminum angle stock and steel angle. The first pitch is easier than 5.9, and the crux move is leaving the belay ledge, a very commiting mantle onto a steep slab, this move mayhap coining the name 'Lunar Leap' Also up the trail and short scramble to the summit with my boys in 2006 when they were 9 & 7 & 7. Also July 19, 2009 via Northwest Books. | |

| Ah, my first multi-pitch which spurred my obsession with rock climbing! No tame toprope introduction for me...instead a sheer, exposed route on Lembert Dome. I was amazed at how I felt little anxiety, rather fascination. | |

| 1983. My first ever lead at Tuolumne Meadows with a crowd of people from LA. Great, smooth, well protected friction lead. | |

| A fun short hike to great views. While driving through Yosemite, traffic started backing up inside the park so instead of waiting in my car in gridlock I parked and tagged the summits of Lembert and Dog Domes. I had no idea where I was going but route-finding wasn't difficult. Since it was in the evening and most people were leaving, I was lucky enough to get both domes to myself. Got some great views of sunset over Tuolumne including my first view of Cathedral Peak. This great profile view fired my desire to climb Cathedral which I would do 2 years later. Dog Dome has some weird boulders on it that look like they were pushed up by people with too much time on their hands. To think a glacier had deposited them there is a little strange. This is also when I learned that hiking up easy granite slabs in Tevas without socks isn't so good for your feet! I'd definately like to come back to do some of the technical routes and visiting this area in the winter would be truly sublime! Too bad they don't allow snowmobiles - just kidding! | |
