Yosemite's Lembert Dome

myminifactory

Although not as large or well-known, Lembert Dome's more accessible climbing routes make it a favorite among adventure-seekers. While its spectacular sibling commands attention with its sheer size, Lembert Dome offers the advantage of being conquerable in under an hour, rather than requiring an entire day to reach the summit. The cliff side presents numerous technical climbs that will challenge even the most seasoned climbers, while the front face remains steep enough to keep things exciting without being overly daunting. For those who prefer a more leisurely experience, a well-maintained trail leads up the back of the dome, providing a gentle route for those with less experience or a desire for a more relaxed ascent. The 3D model is based on a LIDAR dataset generously shared by opentopo.sdsc.edu. To see this project in action, watch my tutorial video at youtube.com/watch?v=t4-ICkvyJv0.
