"It is a crest of granite...perfectly inaccessible, being probably the only one of the prominent points about the Yosemite which never has been, and never will be, trodden by human foot." <br> -- California Geological Survey 1865<br> <br> Photo taken October 2011
Taken during the flood of Spring '05, when the valley was closed to visitors. Watkins on the right. Glacier Point beyond Half Dome. The Cathedral group down valley in the distance.

West and NW faces, taken 5.25.05. Note the still significant snow tongue guarding the approach from the shoulder. Crossing this in Spring can be a dicey proposition.
