Harlequin Dome is a granite dome, quite near Tenaya Lake, in the Tuolumne Meadows region of Yosemite National Park.

Finding Harlequin Dome[]

From the parking lot at Tenaya Lake, cross Highway 120, hike up slabs to a short headwall. Continue up the trail to the base of the cliff.[1]

Harlequin Dome is directly across from Pywiack Dome.[2]

Rock climbing[]

On Harlequin Dome Jim Bridwell and Roger Breedlove climbed Hoodwink, creating that upside-down feeling.[3]

Harlequin Dome is south-facing, so warm, and is also steep. It has one-to-three pitch climbs, but the climbs wander a bit, and the approach is easier.[1]
