I can't believe we don't have a dome thread on ST!!!!

I love domes because they are typically not hard, have good views from the summit, and there are lots of domes to climb in California.

There are many obvious ones to list, but I'd like to hear about and see some more remote and random domes.

Here is a good historical read

Edit: I'd be happy to include Trip reports and other links to domes here. Please comment on these awesome trip reports. :)

Ahh, the start of one of my favorite solos.

Skirt past the short 5.6 near the bottom, then enjoy perfect hands for a couple hundred feet...

Thanks Jeff, Bear is by Florence Lake. Heard the rock quality isn't the greatest, but looks awesome.

Randisi - When I saw your first pic I thought it was some of the rock around Seoul, S. Korea, China makes sense.
