Charlotte Dome, Charlotte’s Web. In August Dave Harden and I climbed a new line on this beautiful dome. The route begins near a solitary Jeffrey Pine located on a shoulder between a small recess on the southeast face and the large recess mentioned in the Jones/Rowell/ Becky description. One hundred feet of exposed third class ends on a flat ledge, the beginning of the climb. Four pitches up and right lead to the base of a steep, shallow crack that is followed for two very long pitches. The route continues almost straight up for several hunderd feet on beautiful knobs, and ends abruptly on the unusual and spectacular summit arête. The climb consists of twelve long and continuous pitches, and it is the most enjoyable route we have ever done. We carried a selection of 25 chocks and rated the climb NCCS IV, F8.
