| asmrz | Regular Route | |
| Miguel Carmona and I climbed the Regular Route in 1984. My climbing notes say that the climb was fairly good, but not really one of "Fifty Classics". The first pitch had running water on it. There were only some five pitches of real technical climbing, rest was a scramble to the top. The next day, we climbed a much better route, the Regular Route on Third Pillar of Dana. | |

| muajee | Classic  Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2011 | |
| A fun & beautiful day spent with some great company. The party in front of us was a bit slow but they were super nice and the pair after us were mellow and super friendly, so we all had a good time. This is our second attempt. Glad that we made it. The first attempt we got behind some ridiculously slow parties and had to bail before even jumping on the route. | |

| Awesome route! Book P3 the open book 5.7 fingers pitch is excellent. I hate laybacking but grabbing those pin scars is pure joy! 5.7 roof pitch also quite good as is the 5.4 traverse on p8? I think.... Walk off was even great! | |

| ElGreco | A 70m rope... Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2012 | |
| ... is unquestionably the way to go on this route. The climbing is sustained to the crux on p1. The crux is short and is followed by immediate relief. Then head straight for the tree and belay. I found leading the crux on p1 easier than following p2 (which is also sustained)... My calves felt it. The "large white flake" on the supertopo is one of the most enjoyable parts of the climb. I went left. Glorious hand jams below and a large horn higher up which you can sling for bomber pro and jug on. One of the pins just below Crescent Ledge is rotten - don't trust it. The head is cut and it wobbles. There is a stuck cam on the arch before the roof where the arch slants right. The roof itself is fun and protects well. The crack at its base will take a small-medium cam. Extend that with a double sling and then clip the pin above the roof (which seems solid). Then move right and tackle the roof on good jugs. The remainder of the climb eases considerably. There is a glorious, comfy belay balcony next to a big tree after the long right traverse! After that, a handful of thin face/friction moves and lots of 3rd, 4th and easy 5th separate you from the top. | |

| Climbed with my friend Kali and met SPer Vitaliy on the climb. The first 2 pitches are sustained but it eases up substantially afterwards. I carried nuts and cams up to #2 but never even placed the #2. Good pro is available just about everywhere. | |

| Vitaliy M. | one of 50 classics! Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2011 | |
| Climbed with a good friend. Got to lead the crux 5.9 pitch-clean (even though it had water all over the crux)! Very exciting climb. Clean rock, good pro. | |

| Dow Williams | Fairview Dome Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2011 | |
| The end of a 4 day climbing trip with Peter S up and down the Eastern Sierra...climbed in the morning, drove home to St. George in the afternoon (the back way=remote)...truly my favorite stretch of road anywhere, 2nd trip through that section of NV. Not a stellar climb from a climber's perspective (least interesting climbing of the trip), but worth doing if you don't have to deal with folks. Lucky for us, it rained the previous day, all day, and we had the entire dome to ourselves...that I can live with! After a big rain like that, both the first and second pitches are covered in drainage, but I have climbed much worse. If a bit of water delivers the route human free, I am all over that exchange. | |

| Long day from Fresno and back. Got stuck behind a slow leader for 10hrs of climbing. But I gotta do it again and lead the first pitch. | |

| biz | Great fun! Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2010 | |
| A very fun climb with JB. Got stuck behind some slow climbers, which cost us about 3-4 hours, but had decent weather. The first pitch was wet, adding a little spice. Loved the 2-4th pitches and the 6th. | |

| haishan | wet crack Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2002 | |
| Snowstorm a couple days earlier left the crack on pitches 1 & 3 cold and dripping wet. I remember chalking hands and wiping shoes on my pant legs after every sequence... I was sketched. Warmth & sunshine on upper pitches made this one of the most enjoyable climbs I've done. | |

| Sienna | What a great time Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2009 | |
| I loved this climb, and thought the third pitch was the best pitch ever. | |

| tb00957 | regular route Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2008 | |
| We were lucky to be second party in line. This is very popular route. It gets easier considerably after the 1st pitch, but still a very nice route on a very prominent dome. | ||

| Misha | Classic Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2008 | |
| Climbed with Pavel and Kris on a beautiful afternoon. Wildfire smoke from the previous day got thinner which revealed incredible views and, to our amazement, we were the only party on the route. Started at noon and topped out at 6:30pm; just enough to get mexican dinner in Groveland on the way home. Great clean climbing and with lots of memorable places. First pitch crux challenged me a bit (my first real weekend in the mountains this season). Will do again! | |

| atthecrux | Classic is all I have to say... Date Climbed: Aug 24, 2006 | |
| If it weren't for Nick leading the first 2 pitches I would of never of been able to climb this one. That 2nd pitch kicked my butt! We toped out right at sunset. | |
