Pan Dome Falls
Tabasco Kid
Name:
Pan Dome Falls
Rating:
3+/4
Intro:
A long pitch of variable ice, Pan Dome is a usually a good climb that comes in every season. Because it is easily visible from the ski area parking lot, its condition is generally well known and it gets climbed many times a season.
Approach:
Park in the ski area's upper parking lot. Follow the Austin Pass Road until able to cut across slopes toward the climb. The approach takes about 10 minutes. Snowshoes may be required for the last part of the approach. Coordinates: 4851.420' N, 12140.710' W
Climb:
Follow the low-angled ice in the center of the falls up to the steep pillar above. Be aware that this upper portion is steep and sustained at about 80 degrees. Often the upper section is in solid WI 4 conditions. To set up a top-rope, walk around to the climber's right up the road. Be careful approaching the top of the falls, as the way is steep, slippery, and avalanche prone. Generally speaking a top-rope requires a rappel to the tree with many slings. Most parties top-rope the route with two ropes tied together.
Descent:
Rappel the route.
