I absolutely agree with you, the ease of access and the rock quality there is astounding to say the least. I took a chimney in between Eichorn and Cathedral to get to the summit, I’m not sure what it was rated but it felt like 5.5. But the Echos we’re awesome! Each summit was a quick 15 minute scramble across solid knife edges! The real question is how was the Matthes Crest though?! I was eying that all day but I didn’t feel comfortable soloing 5.7(especially old school Yosemite 5.7). It looks incredible though!
Echos do look cool. 9 towers or something? Was Lamarck fun?
5.7 on Matthes is pretty short but intimidating. It’s a bit pumpy to place gear so it’s definitely easier to solo, though quite scary. The entire ridge is pretty heady.
Yeah there are 9 peaks in the echo range. I did 5 of them but, it’s all 3rd and 4th class except tower 9, which is 5.9. Lamarck was mostly a talus hop to the top, the climbing shots of it, was me just trying to price together a traverse to the next peak over, which ended at a massive notch that I would have needed to rappel into. Is the 5.7 on matthes on the down climb, getting on the ridge, or on the ridge itself? I’m going to climb the buttress of tenaya next time I’m in that area, and if I’m feeling solid ill head over to matthes. It looked like the type of route that’s perfect for me!
