Description:
yosemite--tuolomne meadows area. known as a very "classic" climb (i've been told). i basically have climber's amnesia, mostly cuz i seesawed between being elated and scared out of my pants (yes i did get gripped on the 3rd pitch--it was really scary--but it was only my second trad climb ever). there were a few slabby pitches, 2 really great cracks. the 4th pitch is a beautiful chimney. after the first 3 pitches, it gets very vertical. the pitches ranged from 5.6 to 5.8 (the way the leader took me up).Descent Options:
walk off (class 4 and class 3 terrain)

Cool without a rope because you can climb around parties and pick your own way up to the top.

Regular route Variation
Start with the regular route A (super topo) for the first 3 pitches. Skip the bottleneck at the Chimneyand move right to a short wall (5.7) and folllow up the arrete approx 160' to a small ledge for the belay. This will let you finish in 1 more long pitch 180' to the top. Finish with the 5.8 face crack at the top

Cathedral Peak, first multi-pitch.
Cathedral Peak was crowded, so send took all freakin' day. The rock was amazing and the climbing was really easy. I was ill prepared for the cold winds at the top, so now I know to pack a jacket! Walking off was easy, but a bit sketchy because of exhaustion.
I'm looking forward to going back here and doing it much faster.
