Mike and myself at the top of Power Dome. We were the only ones there, would have been romantic if I was gay.

This is the easiest route on Power Dome but still commands respect from all who attempt it. Have you "slab happy" face on....

This photo was taken on November 8 2003.....just two days before the entire Sierra Nevada got hit with a huge snow storm. Note the t-shirt and shorts....temps in the high 70's and brilliant blue skies!

Much of the protection on "A Little Nukey" utilizes the fairly unique solution pockets that pepper the rock. In addition to skinny slings, bring several small tricams to supplement your draws.

Nice, reasonable slab climbing. Good bolts, well-spaced, etc. etc. YOu get the picture.

Here's Andrea (comet) at the second bolt of Little Nukey.

Carrie thought we should give them a moment alone. I thought better. Glad I did, I think it turned out well.

All belays are 3bbs. Pitches 1 and 2, are fully bolted, pitches 3 and 4 are "trad" Pitch 5 is very long. Don't just follow the guide and its ".....up" description. I suggest breaking it in two. We simulclimbed it. Top quality route. tricams to brown, slings for threads, small cams and ,medium nuts useful.
