Finding Harlequin Dome

From the parking lot at Tenaya Lake, cross Highway 120, hike up slabs to a short headwall. Continue up the trail to the base of the cliff.[1]

Harlequin Dome is directly across from Pywiack Dome.[2]

Rock climbing

On Harlequin Dome Jim Bridwell and Roger Breedlove climbed Hoodwink, creating that upside-down feeling.[3]

Harlequin Dome is south-facing, so warm, and is also steep. It has one-to-three pitch climbs, but the climbs wander a bit, and the approach is easier.[1]

gollark: The server is going to reboot for updates Soon™. Please update via mcdex or `mods.zip`.
gollark: I've fixed it, though, by manually reverting that update in the manifest.
