West Quarter Dome is a granodiorite dome, in the Tenaya Canyon area of Yosemite National Park.

[3][4][5][6] Ansel Adams took a photo, Glacial Erratic on East Quarter Dome Showing Half Dome in Background, on East Quarter Dome.

[7] The Quarter Domes are a bit up Tenaya Canyon, are across from Half Dome and Clouds Rest, thus are above Yosemite Valley, quite near to Little Yosemite Valley.

[8][6] The Quarter Domes offer rock climbing routes, though the approach is difficult.

[9][10][11] One well-known route is The North Face, which Yvon Chouinard and Tom Frost first climbed in 1962.
