Seeking Hood Cathedral Ridge beta

[markseker]

I'm part of a group targeting the Cathedral Ridge route over Easter weekend, Apr 18-21. Will try for the Top Spur trailhead if we can get close by car, ascend Timberline Trail 600 to McNeil Pt, then cross to Cathedral. Expedition style, so we'll have gear for 2-3 nights out and no hurry. Descend plan is same route.

 

Anyone have current route beta or tips to share?

In addition to what Shredder posted, I might recommend accessing Cathedral Ridge via Timberline at that time of year. Another option is via the Tilly Jane Trail across the Coe.
