A steep, boulder problem of a route, it is the obvious crack on the right side of the dome.  Start up the VERY steep wall with a big flake, and then into a straight-up crack with knobs all around.  While the crux is down low and difficult to protect (only because the wall is so steep) if you can boulder through you will find good rests and ample protection.  A two-bolt anchor with rap rings awaits at the top

Great knob climbing that begins up an obvious hand crack.  A bit run out toward the top on easier ground - very well protected at the crux.  A nice, long pitch.  2 ropes to rap.

Interesting moves up the black streak with excellent protection.  (Many of the bolts are anodized black to blend in with the wall but are easy to spot once on the route.)  160 feet.  12 quickdraws and cams to 2.5”.

Steep crux at the start is protected by three bolts, followed by a long 5.9 R runout to the first anchor. The first pitch can be toproped by climbing Black Widow and walking right along a ledge to a bolted anchor.

Second pitch continues past the ledge through runout 10d X terrain to a walk off.

There's a tricky sequence on the beginning of the route. You have to find the secret pockets on this steep start. It's a bit nerve-wracking to get to the visible bolt ~ 20ft up. It could be easy to deck onto the ledge. Good spotting is recommended.

Knobs and pockets dominate until you reach a nice-sized ledge. Go up and under the roof of the black bulge to find the 2-bolt anchor. It's a bit hidden up there.

Pitch 1 (5.7, 100'): Knobs and cracks to gear belay.

Pitch 2 (5.9R, 100'): Knobs past two bolts and a piton.  Difficulty eases off after the second bolt, but the pro gets scarce -- small cams and tricams in pockets.  Belay at bolts with rap rings.

This route is up and left of "Golfer's Route".

Climb over a bulge, 5.10a on the left, 5.9 on the right. Continue up a crack to steep knobs, past a bolt. Run it out over lower angle rock to a two bolt anchor.

This excellent 5.7, starts at the lowest part of the cliff.

Climb 5.6 face past a bolt to a bulge. Step left over the bulge and follow bolts to a ledge.

Rappel.

Climb a golden, polished face down low with two bolts protecting the first of two 5.10c cruxes with micro edge crimping and edging. This first crux can be avoided by climbing unprotected 5.6 knob climbing to the left.

Above, plug some gear before climbing the upper face with good friction and knobs. A second, shorter and seemingly easier 5.10c crux is involved on this upper face which can be avoided by climbing to the right of the bolt line at 5.10a R. Great knob climbing and friction climbing takes you to the top and a two bolt anchor.

Follows a line of bolts, past a roof, to the right of "Golfer's Route".

A Tuolumne classic! Gets a lot of traffic.
