The next day four members of the party were tired and wanted to stay in
camp.
The remaining three joined me to climb
Dome Peak.
Dome Peak is actually a long ridge with many
“summits.”
Rather than climb only the main summit,
we decided to traverse the entire summit ridge.
The ridge extends to the left out of the picture.
For pictures of our very exposed traverse of the Dome Peak ridge and the
sparsely populated register we found at the summit,

This picture was taken looking north from the summit of Dome Peak and
shows the terrain Scott and I covered in the traverse,
starting from
Sahale, Boston
and
Forbidden.
The others covered a bit less,
having joined us when we returned to Cascade Pass.
For more pictures and maps of the route as done by others
(and with more peaks labeled)
