Tamara crusing up p1...The routes crux is located 100 ft into the pitch. A few moves of polished feet and thin fingers.

Perhaps the best pitch of the climb

The pitch after crescent ledge.

I can't get over the size of the crystals on this rock! It makes for great face climbing.

Looking back at Mat Jackson on the pitch 7 traverse. This route is a classic for so many reasons.

The Route

Looking down from Crescent Ledge.

View of Cathedral from the summit

The 2 parties made it to the top after a few weekend of not starting early enough, rain and hail was about to get on us. Such a great memory.

The descent: Hike down the backside - straight towards cathedral peak aiming for that dirt patch down below. Before you get to that though, you'll see the opportunity to make a right and traverse around the dome meeting up with a trail

At the top of the gully.
