since there are 3 locals posting - when cherry hill road opens, does that typically mean that the road will be snow free? Will bart dome area be mostly snow free?
Hoping to get up there the second week of June.
Dave and Kris - I'd love to message you with other questions and inquiries.
thx.

Local climbing buddy just messaged the Lloyd Meadow road is open.
https://domelandwilderness.wordpress.com/
says:
"Anyone wishing to head into the Domeland Wilderness over Memorial Day weekend may be very disappointed. Is it a bad thing? Maybe not to some but the roads (Cherry Hill and Sherman Pass) access the western side will be closed over Memorial Day weekend due to large amounts of snow. Only access into the area is via the PCT, which will add longer travel times to the area. It may be best to wait a few more weeks past Memorial Day to access the wilderness. Stay tuned for more road openings as reports come in."
Was hoping for Bart Dome 5/31 or 6/13 weekend - we'll see...

Got a little taste of Kernville Kragging today with my girlfriend...ironically, high temps at this time of year limit potential, but this year, it has been persistent cool and lightly rainy conditions that have limited potential.
We didn't get out till late morning, and got started on that 5.8 bolted job to the left of Dirty Dishes. Did the first pitch a couple of times, then headed up to do the second pitch under spitting rain, hoping it would back off. No such luck. Clipped the second bolt, and then it got more serious. Bail!
Had a burger at McNally's, then went for a hike to Valhalla- that was a bit of an adventure, since I was navigating based on my memory of the road and access trail from online beta I read last week. Hiked up the north side of the drainage, following a bunch of cairns...found the wall....very impressive! The 'air conditioning' was in full effect (though not necessary today).
All told, it was a great day. I'd definitely come back. Thanks to everyone here for the beta, and the local hospitality from mooch!
