[Hide Comment] All my info for the Cantara loop has come from the "State of Jefferson Rock Climbers Guide"
4th Edition, Mount Shasta Area. by Iain Katz. BUY THE GUIDE!!! Its worth it. Sep 15, 2016

[Hide Comment] If only you COULD buy the State of Jefferson Rock Climbers Guide! (An updated edition would be even better.) Other guides been put together--but I can't bring myself to spend $$$ on such rare, out-of-print books. Apparently, not too long ago, the State of Jefferson book sold for $15! Thin, but definitely better than nothing! Oct 19, 2021
