Fairview Dome & Aqua Knobby
August 1-2, 2009
Trips page
Melissa was going to have ACL knee surgery a couple of days later,
so we went out for a "last" (for a while) weekend of climbing. On
Saturday, we did the Regular Route on Fairview, topping out just
after 1pm and narrowly avoiding afternoon thunderstorms in the area.
This is an awesome climb!
On Sunday we did Aqua Knobby on Pywiack Dome, probably my favourite
short route in Tuolumne, it has a 5-minute approach too!
