Cathedral Peak conditions
I would like to climb Cathedral Peak August 8th to 9th. I was wondering with all the snow this year if the crux gully could still be a snow climb? Has anyone been there recently or is there a place I can see the mountain from a distance? I also saw in a trip report that a side gully goes 3rd class without the loose scree. Has anyone else done this route?
Re: Cathedral Peak conditions
I'm thinking of heading up there this Friday. I can PM you conditions or leave em' on this thread when I get back.

That would be wonderfull.
Check out this report on 13ers web page (Cathedral Pk. - a different route) It shows a side gully that is much better climbing if there is a lack of snow in gully.
Good luck and looking forward to your report!

Re: Cathedral Peak conditions
Hey guys, have you climbed Cathedral? I'm curious also as I might be able to get there in a next few weeks to climb it. What trailhead did you start from? How feasible would be combining Conundrum be?

Re: Cathedral Peak conditions
Climbed Cathedral via standard route last week Thursday. The gully is very steep and had plenty of very well-packed snow which didn't soften much during the day. We kicked steps on the way up, then backed down them on the way down - very slow and tedious. It was a long day, 11+ hrs, so I wouldn't recommend trying to combine with anything else unless you are a speed demon.
