P 9011, “Leopold Dome”, Burt Miller Route, 1981. After hiking six miles around Courtwright Reservoir, climbing a few pitches and sitting out a rainstorm, Alan Swanson and I were nearing the summit of the “unclimbed” P 9011. Upon seeing a hook hole and an aid bolt above, we realized the route matched the description of the Burt-Miller route on the south face of P 9547, Maxson Dome (A.A.J., 1978, p. 525). The only difference is that the route is actually on the southeast face of P 9011. This was perhaps the first free ascent. We refer to the formation as Leopold Dome in honor of conservationist Aldo Leopold. (NCCS III, F10.)
