South Whizz Dome Dome is north of both Medlicott Dome and Pywiack Dome, both of which are south of California State Route 120, which runs through Tuolumne Meadows to Tioga Pass.

On South Whizz Dome's particulars

[edit]

South Whizz Dome is close to North Whizz Dome, and the two are often spoken of together.[3] The Whizz Domes are actually two domes, next to each other: North and South Whizz domes, which are between Polly Dome and Daff Dome on Tioga Road (120).[4]

South Whizz Dome has a few rock climbing routes.[5][6][4][7]
