West Quarter Dome, North Face. The Quarter Domes have two summits. Chouinard and Frost did an excellent route on the higher of these in 1962. The remaining face was climbed by Dave Goeddel and me last fall. We followed a prominent left-facing flake system leading directly to the summit. The climb is ten pitches long, evenly divided between free and aid on clean low-angle granite. There are no good ledges, but a fine campsite at the base allows the climb to be done in one day. No bongs are necessary. NCCS IV, F8, A3.
