Blockade Runner is arguably one of the best routes in the Alabama Hills.  It shoots right up the north face of the impressive Alabama Dome.  Thin edging and incut crimping will get you up this route.

Blockade Runner

Sherman's March

Southern Man

Dihedral Dance

Gone with the Wind

The furthest right, west facing route on Alabama Dome.

From the base of Gone With The Wind scramble around the corner to the base of the west face. There are two great climbs here. The first one you come to is a bolted face, Southern Man, 5.9 Two Bolt Anchor, Clip and lower.This is a great warm up for the rest of the climbs on this wall.

Twist and shout your way up the obvious corner then power out the bulge to finish on easier face to anchors. Excellent moves and body positioning on this one.

Start right of

Dihedral Dance

and climb plates, edges up the vertical face along the edge of a rounded arete. Although fun it's not quite as high quality as its neighbors just to the left but still makes for a great warm-up if in the area.
