Great climbing up small imperfections on good granite, one of my favorites at Dogma. The problem lies in what has happened to the route since it was put up. The massive branch from which the name comes is dead and lying on top of the bolt line and the good holds you need to climb it. Some of the bolts are new, others are button heads. The button heads are also located where the route drops in difficulty to 5.7 after the small overlap where there is a mega runout (75 to 90ft, hard to tell). So with retro bolting and some tree maintenance, I'd love to see this route revived. When my wife and I climbed it, her lead, she was struggling to lift the huge branch to clip the bolts, then faced a horrific runout protected by a tiny button head at the top. She sent, thank god.

An arch leads to bolted slab. Good warmup route with secure climbing and good pro. Double rope rappel

The route was named after the lizard that climbed a 5.18c variation around the first ascentionists while doing inverted pushups and sticking out its tongue. Its another well protected, fun, and challenging slab route that is definitely worth doing

This route is much more balance-y and used more friction. It also has a slightly bulging crux section halfway, unlike other routes that ease up as you get higher. Overall, great rock and a challenging route! Also very well protected

Tricky start, the rating comes from the first few bolts then the difficulty eases. Really fun route, guide book gives it 4 stars. You can traverse left at the 6th bolt and hit the 70ft anchors if you don't have two ropes to rap the route. Well bolted where its hard, runout where its easy. Typical of the area

Superb slab route with thin edging and some smearing. Extremely well protected and a great lead. My favorite on the wall

As with most of Dogma dome, all difficulty lies in the first couple to few bolts. This climb offers pretty secure and well protected slab moves on good quality granite, do it! You can also traverse when you see the anchors on the right if you have 1 rope, but if you have two keep going to the manazanita at the top and rap off.

Second bolted route from the left end of the wall. Great first route of the day. Some edging leads to the 5.8 friction crux of the route I think around the 3rd or 4th bolt.
