Beautiful climbing with an amazing amount of potential.

Picture taken from the trail into Tick Dome where Richard Aschert and I just established two new 500-600 foot 5.12 routes.

Very nice Bob,

I heard you were doing some nice work down there.

I'll have to sneak down and check the place out soon.

Have you ran into Langston down there yet?

He's been a bit active there too I hear.

Here's some pics from when I did Childhood's End, this July. a pretty good climb but more grainy than I would have expected. Kind of like a cross between Joshua Tree & Tuolomne Meadows but without the bomber rock.


This is pitch #9, 5.10+ and kind of PG-13/R rated.



This is the route called Shock Treatment, 5.12C. 7 or 8 pitches and it has a 5.11+ offwidth & a 14 bolt 5.11B face at the top. It looks good!

I always found that rock to be a bit chossy. Granted I mostly hike around burned areas doing field work at the time.

Crazy beautiful though!
