John and Joel packing up at the top of Northwest Books. Of course, this is when they would say things got interesting. From the top of the climbing route Northwest Books, your options are limited to climb to the top of the dome and take the hiker's trail down, which adds considerable time or distance, or find the anchors for other climbs and use them to rappel back to the base of the dome on the side directly adjacent to the parking lot. Given it was almost 6pm, we decided to do the shorter rappel option.
