Long routes at the Dome?

The ridge is a horrrible tangle of briars from clearcutting, but it's doable. better than the rhodo thrash? I dunno. I remember coming down had a move or two of 5th class.

Here's what I recall quite distinctly... I had on a pair of pants, the other two members of my party (who shall remain nameless) were having trouble with the slimy downclimb. It was a stretch and a rocky landing if you slipped. So I took off my pants and they placed the crotch around a skinny tree and lowered themselves down on my pants. i was standing there in boxers laughing my ass off at them while they felt like pansies... then the pants ripped... suddenly i wasn't laughing anymore and they were. oh well.

And my partners accuse me of adventure climbing. That's the best story I've heard in a while.

So I was browsing Ray's new museum and there it was in an old guide. It said you could cramble to the top. Apparently it's before you get to the pinnacle.
