The Orange Corner (Pitch 3)
The Original Route, Cathedral Wall

Kwyn Meagher following pitch 1. Low snow year in 2020—this was a rope stretcher without the snow and starting on flat ground. That's Fairview Dome in the background!
Rappelling the first few pitches, this route is steeper than it looks from afar!
Final pitch, the summit is up and right of the grin.

You can follow the ridge line up to the notch and take the Cathedral Peak climber's trail down the east side as long as you don't have any reason to return to the JMT / north side. Makes for a nice loop and saves you some rough off-trail descent!
