Fresno Dome, Southwest Face. There appear to be a number of domes and rock outcrops on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada that have been overlooked by the serious climber. One of these is Fresno Dome, southwest of Yosemite National Park. On November 5, Jim Stuart and I made what appears to be the first climb on its face. We chose the outside corner, about 500 feet in height, an interesting climb involving crack and slab problems. NCCS II, F7.
