Dozier Dome

Dozier Dome is a climbing area in Yosemite National Park, California, inside the Yosemite Wilderness. The land is managed by the National Park Service, and a fee is charged for access. The climbing here is spread across 25 routes, with the majority of them trad routes and a handful of sport routes. The YDS grades run from 5.6 up to 5.11a. Some of the named routes include Holdless Horror at 5.6, Scandalous Summer at 5.7, and Angelic Upstart at 5.11a. The dome itself serves as the anchor for these climbs, and the surrounding area holds several other climbing spots within a short distance. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit.
