Title: Beyond Kaiser
Post by: DaveyTree on September 08, 2013, 01:38:20 pm: This will be the area of Florence and Edison.

I am interested in Bear Dome and Infant Buttes a long with the huge dike ridge. Munge or Mooch, you ever make it up there? Beta?

Take a look at Mtnyoung's TR.

This area?

Post by: DaveyTree on September 08, 2013, 04:01:14 pm: I think they were higher up. Bear Dome is on the ridge between Florence and Edison. About 3 miles in. Lot of rock all over that area. Bear Dome and Infant Butte to its NE looks the best.

Search Bear Dome on taco and there are a few pics.

Post by: NateD on September 30, 2015, 11:40:00 am: Maybe you've seen 'em, but there are a couple threads on Supertopo about Bear Dome and the existing routes (several which I believe are in the Secor guide). Bob, (cragnshag) mentions his foray out there.

I don't have a pic of Vermillion cliffs, but I remember there being a lot of rock, but probably somewhat chossy.

This is past vermillion cliffs, I think. Just off the trail going up to the PCT???

Post by: Dave on February 02, 2016, 03:21:27 pm: I remember the owner of the resort trying to recruit climbers to come up there to "install" new routes. An effort to bring in tourism? ;) Roger may have some input on this since this was a hot topic around the late 90's.
