Really an inspired and inspiring climb, for the the first ascenders as well as for Dean and Leo and anyone who comes later.

Doesn't Southern Belle proceed through that crescent arch in Le Bruce's second pic? The arch in the middle of the face?

Try this link to read about the 3rd free ascent by Stanhope and Honnold in 2010, and for a photo overlay showing where the route goes:

Nice job, as usual, on the overlays!

That side of The Dome has some really bold stuff on it! Weird that we only hear about Southern Belle and Karma, anybody done the other routes lately? Way over my pay-grade, but are there second-ascents on the others?

Filling station for the imagination
Waste not your youth
For surely it, youth, was wasted on me,
That I regret not shuffling farther than I did
Seeing at least twice as much would still not be enough
Said to have only an hour to see Yosemite,
The rangers tell it over and over
Just sit down right here, and cry.

About time Karma gets some love and an all free ascent.

That has always been its reputation. Ken Yager following that committing route post surgery is nothing short of terrifyingly heroic. Hard core on both ends of the rope.

Cozzy thought Southern Belle was the boldest and (stupidest) thing he'd done.
Schultz' tale of spending an eternity hand drilling that one 1/4 bolt standing on nothing while looking at a horrific fall is part of the urban legend in the stunt rigging community.
