Quick climbing access update for the Fresno area:

• Fresno Dome is OPEN
• The Balls are OPEN
• The Shuteye access road is currently in very rough shape, even for many 4x4 vehicles — use caution and be prepared for difficult conditions
• Tioga Pass is scheduled to open May 15
• The Boneyard access road is open to the main campsite, and it is walkable from there

As always, conditions can change quickly this time of year. Please travel responsibly and share any verified updates in the comments.

Have fun getting out and after it 🤙
