too late to help that gaper dude. but cathedral is worth the effort. imo its simple enough to stroll up the fish creek in the late afternoon after the thunder clouds start to dissipate and climb into the evening. going early in the day just sets ya up for being behind dorks with ropes.

 

and climb cibola or dont go.

Tim,

 

I wouldn't be put off by the talk of crowds. If you hit it right you'll have no problem. Do the classics, there is a good reason why they are popular.

 

Try to do Cathedral and Fairview on a weekday. Many of the "crowds" are weekend warriors from San Fran.

 

On the weekend go up to Conness or Matthes Crest, most of those "crowds" don't like to stray to far from the car.

 

West Crack is a great late evening route. The top out just at sunset is beautiful.

 

North Peak near saddle bag lake has some fun Coulior to 4th class ridge climbing if you need to rest your fingers. It is a great day trip. One of my favorites. Too late for freshiez though...

 

Bring Bug dope.

 

Have a blast! bigdrink.gif
