Start with a small, diagonal crack through a bulge. As the crack ends, you will work up and right through several overlaps. Gear options can be found under each overlap. This route is considerably easier when using the dead tree leaned up against the start.

This is the best route on the dome (so far). Climb a vertical section of a dike featur with crimpy nubbin fun above and below. Pulling on the dike feature offers something different than the typical nubbin crimping here.

Moose has a hard start to a rest. Then wander through a couple of overlaps and a final bulge to the top.

SBF is a short but fun, little toprope. Climb a steep section with a bit of a bulge to a slabby water groove/corner. This is worth climbing, but it is not worth putting bolts on it.

The beta is in the name... it climbs the funky, black water tube about 20 feet right of "

Black Rose Stem

".

This was originally put up to access a couple of toprope routes. It starts on "

Black Rose Stem

" and climbs the first three bolts of that route. Look up and right for the fourth bolt and anchors, the same anchors as "

The Sound of One Hand Stemming

".

Climb straight up the center of large slab using various size, sharp crystal holds. This shares the last bolt and anchors with the next route to the right.

This shares the start with "

Moose Whisperer

". Climb that route until the crack splits. Take the left crack, and work around an awkward bulge, finishing at the shared anchor chains. There is an extension to this route that steps around left and up a slightly overhanging crack to anchors on the top (another 15 feet, 5.10ish).

This is a fun romp with four different sections: low angle slab with 2 bolts to a good rest; thin slab moves past the next 2 bolts to a rest; vertical layback moves past 2 more bolts to another good rest; and climb past the final 2 bolts on more vertical terrain to the anchors.

Climb up bulges past the raspberry bushes into the huge corner. Go through the roof crack out right starting with your hands into a few deep flared fist jams.  Continue up then left to the crack through the headwall (save a hand-sized piece for the end).

Start with difficult moves following the steep crack up and left out to the obvious short handcrack. From here, continue out the flake hanging above. Once you are over the flake, move up the corner and water groove until you can escape left to the chains.

This has three little sections of steepening slab. Climb a puzzling, low angle slab to a blocky section, finishing with a steep, funky water tube. There are lots of hidden holds on this one.

Do a fun stemming start up a black water groove. Move left at the top of the tube to surmount a little headwall. Then climb a slabby finish.

Climb a lower angle water weakness, clipping bolts out right. This is a good first lead.

Climb a huge, concave-faced block. The crux is getting off the ground, through a roof and onto the concave face.

The crux is figuring out the first 2 bolts and clipping the third. Then it's a cruise to the top.

Getting on this route might be the crux for some people. Stem and thrash your way up a flaring chimney until it is possible to step onto the slab finish. This can be climbed staying right of the bolts for a much harder climb (5.10).

There is a lot going on with this one! Start with a bit of slab through a cool intrusion, over a bulge to more slab. Then work through/around an awkward roof to more bulging overlaps.

This is more fun nubbin wrestling with some stemming thrown in. It has some of the largest quartz nubbins on the entire dome. It shares the last bolt and anchors with "

Ladder Made of Thorns

."
