Lankin Dome, Granite Mountains. Some rather nice granite domes lie in the Wyoming desert. Eric Boelke, Andy Archer and I climbed a route on the northwest buttress of Lankin Dome in August. The first pitch, the crux, is up a friction slab (one bolt for protection), heading toward a prominent crack and dihedral system. We followed these for four more pitches to where we could scramble to the top. (III, 5.9)
