Climbing in Eleven Mile Canyon

Granite domes and big rocks 40 miles west of CS.

 We chose Knome Dome (not sure why K instead of G) which is the first rock up the canyon and has some moderate routes.


Access requires a little hiking including a refreshing wade around this outcrop.


Since this was only my 2nd time on granite I started very tentatively but got some confidence quick.
Shane led Waterslide (5.9); Sleeping Beauty (5.8) and Tourists and Fishermen (5.8) and I lead Kiddo Climb (5.5) -- well, I guess that says it all.


 We're outa here.
