Always wanted to cruise out to the Lake T. Edison area and check out the obscure formations. One that caught my eye.....Bear Dome. Carnal knowledge Standers??

There's a great climb up the middle called the Bear Edge or something. It's like 6 pitches of 5.6 to 5.8 I think. Climbed it 15 years ago so my memory has faded. Fun day of climbing for sure! Climbed a FA? of the South shoulder as well (3 pitches 5.8 ish) with Dave Leahy at around the same time.
3rd/4th class off the backside or one rap from rat chewed webbing
if you have a high clearance vehicle you can cut the approach time (bear diversion dam rd)
don't miss the natural hot springs around Mono

Did a new route there in the pre-friends era.....kinda sounds similiar to " Bear Edge "...right up the gut 5.8 , 6 pitches. The rock is very featured and I suspect unglaciated like neighboring Infant Butte where we did a fun little 3 pitch 5.7.

The fire below Bear Dome looked pretty bad on 8/6/2012. We hiked by the area on the 10th and found the TH closed.
It might be a while before one can climb that thing.

easier bushwhacking to come?
Certainly an intriguing dome. Well defended by Kaiser Pass against spring efforts.

in 09 after doing Feather Peak with some stone cold sierra peak baggers
(don't ask how we got there. I don't know. It was night!) Then we trotted
west under sunny skies past Vee Lake , Orchid Lk, Depressed Lk and free'd
the back side of Bear Dome. Nice view. Saw some old sheet metal and wire
junk on top.
Then made it to the Hot Springs store for beers before it closed. OUCH
is an understatement.

Anyone have up close pictures of that rock?
I was just looking at this thread last week and trying to figure out how I could work Bear Dome into my summer plans

Bump. I will more than likely be at VVR again this summer. It would sure be nice to get on this thing. TONS of rock in the area too!

Crabs, I have been eye balling that thing for a while as well. Some sweet stone. Do you have an account on the routes already done so as to not repeat?
Anyone else have beta on routes up Bear or Infant?
