nice, did you downclimb, or rap? most of my soloing is with a rope and a very large rack, but I love it...

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.

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.
