skitchmo Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Goin' to California for some skiing on Sonora Pass next week. Anyone know how the approach to, and descent from, Cathedral Peak would be early in the season (assuming Tioga Pass opens soon)? I haven't done Cathedral Peak in about 15 years and remember it as an absolute blast on spectacular rock. Probably just skin up to the base and then rap back down to skis?

SFDonner Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'd imagine (assuming they get the road opened next week, which I'm hoping for too) that it'd be mixed skinning and walking right now due to our 29% snowpack. It's a tough call though without having been out in a while. Check out the "Sierra Conditions" thread on the main forum on telemarkrips.com for more conditions reports.

skitchmo Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks, good idea. I hate mixed skinning and walking. Maybe I'll have breakfast at the TPR and have a liesurely look for some belay-from-the-bumper classics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Husbands Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Seems like there is so little snow that skis wouldn't be worth it even if there is a little travel over snow. should be walkable in the early morning anyway. i haven't been up to tuolumne yet, of course.
