WOW!

Beautiful, eh? Sigrid and Jerry on as yet an unnamed East Fuller Butte, Anderson route

[mungeclimber]

I love stunning sweeping slab climbs. Something aesthetically pleasing about a clean or even featured slab.

Great pic of great people on great rock. Looks better than Chiquito slabbage.

Not a great pic, but a view from across the canyon.  Aren't they Butte-ies!

That slab does look attractive and Jerry does put in nice protection.  Sweeping is a perfect description.

Yes, that route of Jerry and Sigrid's is very nice! Connects to another cool white dike with handy features to climb.

Does the route all go free?

[John]

The route we did all went free.

Those twins are the Buttes but what is the one to the left slightly down?

Companion Domes

[John]

I am calling it Dudleya Dome based on how the party with the earliest recorded ascent I have run across has long used that name. There was an even earlier name from an even earlier unrecorded ascent yet to be re-discovered...stay tuned...could be decades...The shorter one furthest to the West doesn't have a name that I know of nor routes. Between Dudleya and West Butte is Friendship Dome, formerly 4th Of July Dome.

I love it!!!!
