Description
NE Ridge 5.3 ** (7 pitches)
Follow the long broken ridge between "The Pope" (on the Canadian border) and Cathedral Peak. Each pitch has a move or two of (old school) 5.3 and some scrambling. 400' below the summit cross a dike (crux sections are on the next 2 short pitches).
A final airy (rope may be welcome) 4th class scramble leads to the summit. Descend down the regular "walk-up" route to the West (a short rappel may be desirable getting off the summit ridge).
