The last mystery was a tricky one, and only four people recognized the photo. As Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. reported: “This mystery photo is of an 800-foot granite dome located 1,700-feet west of Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park. The dome is popular with rock climbers and has a number of slab and crack climbing features. I have attached a marked-up version of the mystery photo that highlights two of the most popular rock climbing features of the DAFF Dome – the West Crack and the Crescent Arch. West Crack was first climbed by Frank Sacherer in June 1963 and Crescent Arch was first climbed (with assistance from Layton Kor and Fred Beckey) in June 1965. DAFF was never officially named as a park feature until after it was first climbed. Prior to the 1960’s, the dome was simply referred to as the Dome Across From Fairview.” Peel also sent along this version of the photo:
Others sending in correct answers were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; and Lou Camerio, Lilburn. The photo came from Rick Krause of Lilburn.
