The Cathedral Spires are closed from March 1 to July 31 for raptor nesting.
Description
Bolts to Somewhere the line of seven bolts to the left of of Topographical Ocean's 4th pitch. Easier than Topo's P4, but half the bolts in the same distance. One hundred percent pure friction.
This pitch really is brilliant. The best descent is to rap down CONNECTIONS. Rap to the start of the last pitch (either this or TOPO OCEANS) then a 50 meter rap leaves you on easily downclimbed ground at the bottom.

Bolts are spaced appropriately for this route. Not too close but not too far apart. It's a fun climb. Do it.
All three pitches are excellent. I would consider the first 2/3 of the last pitch to be continuous well protected 5.10-, exactly half the bolts than Topo. One of the best pitches that I have led on The Dome and a must do for anyone hiking to the area. Everything from crack to slabbing, a typical awesome South Platte climb.
