Ghost Dome (AKA Infinity Dome)

Ghost Dome hosts a couple of quality multi-pitch routes with clean rock and lots of sun. The routes on Ghost Dome can be great by themselves or as a link up after climbing The Whale Dome. The area is located behind the Whale Dome, across a drainage to the North East.

We first climbed the dome, ground up, via a very nice three pitch natural line which we dubbed Scoopin’ Booty. There was no evidence of anyone climbing this line, yet it just seemed too good to have been unclimbed. There is evidence of route development far right on the cliff, marked by a random SMC button head a few feet off the deck with a bail ‘biner hanging from it. Upon climbing this dome our first time we found a single SMC button head bolt on the summit. We replaced this single button head with a couple of nice Metolius rap bolt hangers.

Upon doing some investigation it does appear that both of these routes were first ascents. There is confirmation that a few other routes have been established both to the left of Time'll Tell and to the right of Scoopin' Booty. If you like steep crack climbing, get on Scoopin' Booty.
