rr666 Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Elephant Buttress outside of Bozeman Montana, great long climb with a bit of exposure, especially for the newbie I was back then, wonderful setting, awesome partner. Just a great day. Super Slab - Sawtooths, Idaho. One of the best settings on Earth. Unfortunately finished after dark and missed the boat across the lake, and had to walk 7 miles back to the lodge in the dark with no light, and only 2 beers between us. White Punks on Dope - Needles California, just an awesome climb, with a great title too! Exasperator, Squamish - no need to say anything about this one. Holland-Davis, Sloe Children at Index.

MATT_B Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Plexus Lambone hit the nail on the head. When I have climibed cathedral during the day I have always experienced crouds, even mid week. Get an EARLY start if you are taking a partner. If you are planning a solo, it is usually easy to pass. There are a bunch of other climbs in the area that you can do in the same day, Unicorn, Cockscomb, the 9 Echo peaks, etc. Take your pick. In keeping with the theme of this thread another coolest day would be a link up of Tenia Peak and Mathers crest in a day. A TON of pitches in a day in an increadable setting and didn't see a sole until the hike out from cathedral lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
