North of Eden, North Dome, Kings Canyon National Park. In July, Roy Swafford, Todd Vogeland and I climbed an 11-pitch route on the east buttress of North Dome. The route follows a distinct corner system consisting of wide cracks. The crux reminded us of the “Ear” formation on the Salathe Wall, only much harder. Where cracks end, face climbing left around a headwall leads to bushy ledges and more face climbing to the top (V, 5.10+ .)
