Calaveras Dome

Calaveras Dome is a Granite dome in Northern California best known as a rock climbing venue. Climbing was active from the 1950s on with a revival during the 70's and 80's. Several dedicated climbers actively developed new routes. Jay Smith, Jeff Altenburg, Paul Crawford, Bob Pinkney, and several others pushed the area into a new realm. Today this is a visited area with climbers from around the world visiting this remote and still un-crowded and beautiful area.
