5.9
A nice introduction to the Southern Yosemite Domes. Three pitches of well-protected, fine friction climbing. The first pitch has a wet spot early in the season. Fixed anchors with rappel stations.
The name says it all. Crack, knob, and friction climbing, very entertaining.
Climb the first two pitches of Odyssey, traverse to the start of Glee, climb to the top and find your way down the back side of Tempest Dome. A gleeful odyssey. Bring a full rack and be prepared for some wild pitches. No fixed anchors!

A fine crack climb with a spectacular knob pitch.
Excellent face climbing with a view.
Sport climbing with an approach.
