The
Best Tuolumne Meadows Climbing Routes
In summer, when the Valley
is hot and crowded, many climbers head to the cool temperatures

has the distinct and magical presence of the High Sierra. From enormous
domes and mile-long exposed ridge traverses to bouldering and steep
face climbs, Tuolumne has it all. Below are more than enough classic
climbs to fill any extended road trip.
