I have looked at several climbs for years and I am getting up the guts to try them. Does anyone have recent topos/photos/info for: 1)N. Ridge of Half Dome (5.10d?) 2)North Buttress Route of Middle Cathedral (Harding route) 3)Chouinard-Herbert Route on Sentinel Rock
The NE Buttress of Higher Cathedral is the best grade IV in the park. My first summer in the Valley I climbed with a guy who had done the N. Butt on Middle Cat and thought it was OK. Just long with a few 5.9 and a .10a pitch. Looks like you can simulclimb lots of it. Should be good adventure.
I don't think you're going to find any info on Half Dome's N. Ridge. Good position though.
